Madriu-Perafita-Claror Valley
World Heritage
Andorra
🎧 Listen to Introduction
The cultural landscape of the Madriu-Perafita-Claro valleys offers a microcosm of how people have harvested the resources of the Pyrenees for thousands of years. The glacial landscape is spectacular, with steep cliffs and glaciers, tall open pastures and steep wooded valleys, and covers an area of 4,247 hectares, or 9% of the Principality’s total area. It reflects past changes in climate, economic wealth and social systems, as well as the persistence of pastoralism and a strong mountain culture, notably the survival of a system of communal land ownership dating back to the 13th century. The site features houses, summer settlements, terraces, stone roads and remains of iron smelting.
