Pyrenees natural parks and visitor rules

National and natural parks in Spain, France and Andorra: camping, bivouacs, dogs, fire, access and restrictions. Montserrat is a separate destination.

Directory coverage

This directory brings together Pyrenean national, natural and regional nature parks, identified foothill areas and Montserrat. Other protection categories are labelled separately: this is not a register of every reserve or Natura 2000 site. A park’s administrative territory may differ from its strictly protected core; each rule applies to the zone identified in the entry.

Réserve naturelle nationale du Néouvielle

Néouvielle is a separate national nature reserve beside the core of the Parc national des Pyrénées. Pale granite, winding lake shores and mountain pines give it a distinctive character. For an introduction, choose Aubert and Aumar lakes or the ascent from Orédon via Les Laquettes. A walk between lakes and an ascent of Néouvielle summit are different undertakings. The wider massif continues beyond the reserve, where protection boundaries and overnight-stay rules may differ.
