Pyrenees Lodges

TASTE BACK IN TIME IN THE SPANISH MOUNTAINS

The Only Real Fly Fishing Lodge in the Pyrenees

Back in 2001, Salvelinus established the first fly-fishing lodge in Spain, exclusively serving fly fishers and their travel companions. In 2005 the company put together a casual guest lodge in Arén, with one of the best off-the-radar gastronomic experiences in the region. Bajo La Piedra Fly Fishing Lodge was opened in 2024 with every service. In the heart of this quaint medieval village surrounded by wilderness, the lodge presents a glorious setting for intimate small-group departures. Here, a family feel prevails – log fires and communal dinners are complemented every night with carefully chosen wines.
