Randonnée Nature Couserando – Small world of rocks

A day's hike to discover the fauna and flora of the high mountains (ibex, isard, marmot...).

The mountain pastures, with their endless lawns, punctuated only by rocks and scree, seem deserted. And yet, this environment is populated by an extraordinary fauna and flora: Ibex, Iberian ibex, ermine, marmot, rock ptarmigan, rock monticole, sedums and saxifrages... Species that have adapted to the difficult living conditions of the high mountains using different strategies.

Couserando invites you on an easy to medium level hike to meet this incredible little rock world. We'll also discover the fabulous adaptation strategies adopted by the inhabitants of this environment.

Optical equipment (binoculars, spyglass) will be provided for quality observation.
