Taüll amid Romanesque art and mountain scenery

Taüll combines Romanesque art, local festival culture and mountain scenery. Sant Climent de Taüll is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site "Catalan Romanesque Churches of the Vall de Boí". The church was consecrated on 10 December 1123 and built over an 11th-century temple. This gives culture enthusiasts a clear focal point.

Santa Maria de Taüll displays reproductions of its interior murals; the originals are housed at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. The church stands on Plaça Major. The reproductions in Santa Maria and the originals at the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya are therefore located in two different places. A visit to Santa Maria thus complements the view of Sant Climent with another specific motif from Taüll's architectural and artistic history.

Festivals and playful discoveries

The Festa Major de Taüll takes place on the third weekend of July and includes the descent of the Falles, the Ball Pla, the Ball de Sant Isidre and the Pila. The third weekend of July provides a specific time frame for planning a stay in Taüll. A digital treasure hunt begins in the vicinity of the Sant Climent de Taüll church and uses a free web application without registration. The range of experiences therefore extends from festive traditions to digital exploration.

National park, viewpoints and trails

Part of the Taüll area lies within Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. Faro de Taüll is located at an altitude of 1,773 metres and offers panoramic views of the Vall de Boí and its Romanesque ensemble. Your travel planning can therefore include natural surroundings, altitude and wide-ranging views alongside churches and festivals as distinct interests.

Access to the Camí de foc route begins behind Taüll's last buildings on the road to Pla de l'Ermita. This specific section of road provides a clear point of reference for planning the Camí de foc route.

Winter days around Boí Taüll

For winter days, Boí Taüll has four ski touring routes and its own toboggan run. The Boí Taüll ski resort covers 550 hectares and has more than 45 kilometres of ski runs. The more than 45 kilometres of ski runs provide a specific indication of scale for planning days on the slopes. This makes it possible to plan your stay around ski touring, tobogganing or alpine skiing.
