Benasque Valley, Natural valley in Ribagorza, Spain

The Benasque Valley extends through the Pyrenees mountains, featuring glacial lakes, thermal springs, and peaks reaching heights of 3,500 meters.

The valley contains medieval settlements, including the Palace of the Counts of Ribagorza, which dates back to the period of Spanish nobility rule.

Local residents speak Benasquese, a distinct dialect combining elements of Aragonese and Catalan languages, preserved through writing competitions since 1999.

The Centro de Ciencias Pedro Pascual offers scientific research facilities, while the Aramón Cerler ski resort provides winter sports activities throughout the season.

The Forau de Aigualluts chasm creates an underground river system where melting glacier waters disappear and resurface in the Garonne River.
