Boumort – Collegats is an extensive area of natural interest of almost 20,000 hectares that protects some of the most spectacular and best preserved places in the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees. Impressive rock walls and geological formations worthy of a Geopark are the environment of extensive forests and open areas, which make up the habitat of numerous endangered animal species. In Boumort – Collegats you can discover the wild Pre-Pyrenees.

The Gorge of Collegats

The landscape of Collegats is marked by a linear element that is the river Noguera Pallaresa and the erosion that has occurred in the conglomerates, causing the formation of the gorge. But in addition to this linear dimension, there is another large area that make up the mountains and spaces of its environment, on both sides of the river: the Rocs de Queralt, Queralt, Roca Santa, Llania, Gramuntill, Baiarri, the Serra de Peracalç, Cuberes and Solduga. Altogether, Collegats is an example of the combination of a geological landscape of great beauty with a great scientific interest, didactic and informative for the knowledge of the geology of the Pyrenees.

The Boumort Reserve

The Boumort National  Reserve was created in 1991 with an area of 13,097 ha. This area, where three regions meet (Pallars Sobirà, Pallars Jussà and Alt Urgell) is located between the valleys of Noguera Pallaresa and Segre. The Reserve protects and manages a good sample of the typical wildlife of the Pre-Pyrenees, and has been the scenario of the reintroduction of extinct species in Catalonia such as the deer and black vulture.
