Vall d'Incles

Vall d'Incles is a glacial valley with a river flowing alongside a marked hiking trail through meadows and rocky granite slopes. Along the route, open grasslands alternate with stone-covered mountainsides and lead toward higher elevations.

The paths formed in medieval times as trade routes connecting Andorra and France, linking mountain communities across the Pyrenees. These old routes remain in use today, showing how important the valley was for people long ago.

Local herders use the valley's meadows for their flocks following practices that go back generations, something visible as you walk through the landscape. This way of working shapes how the meadows look and how nature is used here.

The trail is best accessible from June to October when conditions are stable and snow has melted. The Mountain Hostel Tarter provides lodging and detailed maps to help plan your hike.

Multiple ecosystems exist within a short distance, ranging from riverside plants to alpine meadows and mountain lakes at higher elevations. This quick shift lets hikers experience different landscape types and plant communities during a single walk.
