Alt Pirineu i Aran

The Alt Pirineu i Aran region encompasses six mountainous counties across the Pyrenees, extending from the Aragonese border to Cerdanya county.

The territorial area gained official recognition through Law 24/2001 on December 31, 2001, establishing it as a distinct administrative region within Catalonia.

The region maintains a trilingual environment where Catalan, Spanish, and Aranese languages coexist, reflecting its position at the crossroads of different cultural influences.

This territory contains one-third of Catalonia's protected natural spaces, including Aigüestortes National Park and two natural parks spanning 5,775 square kilometers.

Despite occupying 19% of Catalonia's total land area, the region houses only 1% of its population, with just 83 settlements exceeding 100 inhabitants.
