Conciertos, una tradición que hace Navidad

Coros, orquestas, cuartetos… los conciertos son una tradición que hace Navidad. Desde los villancicos y la música más popular a las interpretaciones sinfónicas más solemnes, la Val d’Aran ofrece un nutrido repertorio a lo largo de todas las fiestas.

Iglesias, plazas y otros espacios de los pueblecitos del valle se convierten en magníficos escenarios, para ofrecer a visitantes y lugareños algunas de las más entrañables experiencias de estas fechas.

Ciclo de conciertos Romanic Musicau

Repitiendo la fórmula de éxito que se lleva a cabo en verano, el Conselh Generau apuesta de nuevo por un ciclo de Romanic Musicau. En estos conciertos el entorno de las iglesias románicas aranesas con su excepcional acústica forma parte de la escenificación de concierto.

El programa para esta Navidad, incluye grupos como Dream Quartet, que acerca la música clásica a todos los públicos o Quartet Prysma, especialistas en la interpretación de Mozart.

Christmas postcard in the Val d’Aran

The Val d’Aran prepares to receive the next Christmas with a proposal full of illusions.

Crib villages, churches with history, Christmas traditions … These attractive elements add to the best sports proposal, with the unsurpassed conditions and activities of the Baqueira Beret ski resort. All this without forgetting the commercial and gastronomic offer of the Valley, so that our visitors will enjoy unforgettable moments.

Snow activities

Torisme dera Val d’Aran has started a microsite dedicated to the snow. In this online space you can find information about Baqueira Beret, activities, services, news, events, meteorology, avalanche bulletin and state of the terrain.

From the rackets to the sleigh rides, it is possible to consult the wide range of snow activities that take place in the Val d’Aran. In addition you can also find the links to specialized companies where you can hire them.

Traditions and entertainment

All the Val d’Aran villages have been decked out to receive Christmas. They offer enchanting scenarios where to walk, attend the Christmas concerts in the Romanesque churches or visit the museums and exhibitions. We especially recommend the sessions of the Romanic Musicau de Nadau that will take place in the churches of Purification de Bossòst, Santa Maria de Arties and Sant Miqueu de Vielha.

As a preamble to the festivities, in Arties there will be a show with fire to make known the Hèsta deth Taro. The same Santa Claus does not want to miss Christmas in the Valley and will be present in many localities to collect the illusions of the little ones. And, for them, the Parc de Nadau will be open at the Palai d’Esports de Vielha, with different activities to entertain all afternoon, right next to the Palai de Geu.

You can check the different events scheduled in our agenda section.
