Ribagorza a vista de pájaro: Los mejores miradores para disfrutar de las vistas panorámicas.

Ribagorza es una tierra llena de paisajes que parecen sacados de una postal: montañas imponentes, valles verdes, ríos que brillan bajo el sol, y cielos despejados. Y si hay algo que mejora aún más esta belleza natural, son los miradores que se encuentran en diversos rincones de la comarca. 

¿Te imaginas disfrutar de un atardecer dorado desde un punto alto, rodeado de silencio, solo con el murmullo del viento y las montañas como compañía? Pues si buscas eso, ¡estás en el lugar perfecto! Aquí te contamos los miradores más impresionantes de Ribagorza, donde cada vista te dejará sin aliento.

1. Mirador de la Peña Montañesa: Un balcón natural sobre el Pirineo

Uno de los miradores más emblemáticos de Ribagorza, el Mirador de la Peña Montañesa, ofrece unas vistas absolutamente espectaculares. Desde aquí, se pueden ver las cumbres de los Pirineos, el Valle de Benasque, y el río Esera serpenteando por el paisaje. Este mirador es perfecto para los amantes de la naturaleza que buscan desconectar, ya que la panorámica de 360 grados te permite ver desde las montañas hasta los pequeños pueblos que salpican el valle.

El acceso no es complicado, pero prepárate para una pequeña caminata (de unos 30 minutos). Una vez en la cima, puedes sentarte y disfrutar del aire fresco mientras el sol se oculta lentamente detrás de las montañas. Si tienes suerte, puedes incluso ver algunos animales salvajes en sus hábitats naturales. Ideal para el atardecer y para los que quieren sacar las mejores fotos panorámicas de Ribagorza.

2. Mirador de la Sierra de Chía: Una vista que lo tiene todo

El Mirador de la Sierra de Chía es otro de esos lugares que deja huella. Desde aquí, tienes una vista única de los picos de la Sierra de Guara y del Parque Natural de la Sierra y los Cañones de Guara, que en primavera y verano se llena de tonos verdes y azules vibrantes. El mirador está ubicado a unos 1.700 metros de altitud, lo que significa que las vistas son impresionantes durante todo el año, aunque en verano la luz y los colores del paisaje son inigualables.

El camino para llegar hasta el mirador es bastante accesible y muy bien señalizado, por lo que es ideal si no quieres hacer una caminata muy larga. Aunque la ruta es corta (unos 20 minutos), es importante que vayas preparado, ya que el terreno puede ser algo rocoso en algunos tramos. Cuando llegues, te encontrarás con una panorámica espectacular del valle de Chía, rodeado de montañas, bosques y praderas. Un lugar perfecto para relajarte y admirar el horizonte.

3.  El Mirador de Arén: Un balcón entre dinosaurios y barrancos

Este mirador es una parada ideal si buscas combinar vistas naturales con un poco de historia. Situado en las afueras del encantador pueblo de Arén, ofrece una panorámica espectacular del barranco de Arén y su entorno geológico, conocido por los yacimientos de huellas de dinosaurios que se encuentran muy cerca.

Desde el mirador, además de disfrutar del paisaje, puedes continuar la visita hacia el Museo de los Dinosaurios o explorar alguno de los senderos que rodean la zona. Es un lugar tranquilo, accesible en coche y perfecto para hacer una pausa en ruta o para sacar unas buenas fotos al atardecer.

4. El Mirador de Noales: Amaneceres con vistas al Montsec

Entre Graus y las primeras estribaciones del Montsec, se encuentra este pequeño mirador poco conocido, pero con una de las vistas más amplias de toda la zona.

Desde aquí se contempla el embalse de Barasona extendiéndose como un espejo, con las sierras al fondo y el cielo reflejándose con esos tonos que solo salen bien al amanecer (sí, merece la pena madrugar).

Un rincón sereno, sin masificaciones, ideal para desconectar un rato o simplemente sentarte a ver cómo la luz va cambiando el paisaje. Si vas con tiempo, puedes completar la visita paseando por Noales, un pueblo pequeño pero con mucho encanto.

Consejos para disfrutar de los miradores de Ribagorza

• Lleva agua y protección solar: Aunque las caminatas no sean largas, nunca está de más estar preparado.
  
  
• Visita al atardecer: Si buscas las mejores vistas, el atardecer es el momento perfecto, ya que la luz suaviza los colores y te ofrece una vista increíble.
  
  
• Respeta la naturaleza: No dejes basura ni alteres el entorno. Disfruta del paisaje sin dejar rastro.
  
  

Con estos miradores, no solo tendrás unas vistas espectaculares, sino que también te llevarás recuerdos inolvidables de Ribagorza. Ya sea que te guste caminar, sacar fotos o simplemente relajarte bajo el cielo, estos lugares te ofrecerán lo mejor de la comarca desde las alturas.

The Ribagorza County Celebrates the Progress of the Tourism Sustainability Plan for the Destination in 2024 with the Completion of Milestone 220, Reaching 34.63% Execution and Prepares for a Crucial Year for Its Tourism Transformation

Graus, December 30, 2024.

Ribagorza County has presented a positive balance of the progress of the Tourism Sustainability Plan for the Destination (PSTD), highlighting the completion of Milestone 220, with 34.63% of its execution achieved by the end of this year. This achievement, which exceeds the initial target of 30% set for December 31, reaffirms the county's commitment to transforming and modernizing its tourism offerings.

“This plan represents an extraordinary challenge and opportunity for Ribagorza. It is probably the most significant project of this legislature,” stated Roque Vicente, President of Ribagorza County, during the media presentation.

Execution Balance

In less than 10 months since the signing of the agreement with the Government of Aragón, Ribagorza County has committed a total of €1,266,827.24 in actions distributed across the four pillars of the Plan, which consists of 25 measures. Of these, 23 are already underway, covering areas from green transition to digitalization and tourism competitiveness.

The following initiatives stand out among those implemented:

• Green and Sustainable Transition: This includes actions related to natural space management, rehabilitation of exhibition spaces, and climate change adaptation actions to improve the visitor experience while ensuring the protection of the natural environment. A total of €167,000 has been allocated through direct grants via collaboration agreements with six municipalities (Graus, Sahún, Sopeira, Viacamp, Benasque, and Secastilla) to carry out conditioning works in areas of access to water bodies at Barasona, Linsoles, Paso Nuevo, Canelles, Sopeira reservoir, and El Grado reservoir in the Secastilla municipality. A collaboration protocol has been formalized between the County and the FAM for the planning, improvement, conservation, and promotion of Ribagorza's tourist trails. Within this axis, measure 1.6, the strategic plan for enhancing trails, has an allocation of €362,455 for creating thirteen new trails and maintaining existing MTB routes.
• Energy Efficiency Improvements: This focuses on actions related to sustainable mobility. Under the protocol of collaboration with the FAM, a nominative subsidy of €350,000 has been granted to FAM for the creation of three major long-distance routes: Vuelta al Turbón, Camino del Ésera, and Ruta del Noguera. Additionally, €300,000 has been allocated for the sustainable management of visitor centers and museum spaces.
• Competitiveness: Focused on improving the tourism offer, measures have been carried out to consolidate and promote recreational tourism through grants totaling €60,000 for local entities and nonprofit associations. Other actions include creating slow-driving routes, maintaining tourism establishments within the SICTED system, and creating an itinerant exhibition space. A diagnostic of heritage resources will lead to subsidy calls for heritage recovery totaling approximately €525,000.
• Digital Transition: This aims at digitalization and innovation in the tourism sector to boost competitiveness. A new grant line for tourism entrepreneurship with €207,943 has been launched, with applications open from January 1 to 30, 2025. A €70,000 digital marketing campaign for the county's tourism sector has also been rolled out. The most significant element is the joining of Ribagorza as part of the Smart Tourist Destination Network.

Preparations for 2025

Ribagorza County is preparing for next year, with key milestones such as participating in FITUR 2025, where it will receive recognition as a “Smart Tourist Destination Adhered” by SEGITTUR, the public entity responsible for implementing the DTI methodology.

“The pillars of this plan are sustainability and collaboration. We not only want to transform tourism in Ribagorza but also guarantee its future for the coming generations,” emphasized the president.

With over a year and a half left to complete the plan and reach full execution (€4,150,000), Ribagorza advances with confidence and determination toward a sustainable, inclusive, and competitive tourism model aimed at strengthening the local economy and highlighting its rich historical, cultural, and natural heritage.
