River Ariege
Description:
The Ariege River is a beautiful river of Andorra and France, the right tributary of the Garonne River. The length of the river is about 170 kilometers, and the area of the basin is 3860 square kilometers. The river originates in the Pyrenees in eastern Andorra, flows northeast through the mountains, crosses the French border and soon turns northwest.
The Department of Ariege, which is located between Catalonia and Andorra, is located in the north of the Pyrenees, on an area of 4894 square kilometers. Most of the river valley is mountainous, and the southern and middle strips are heavily cut by the Pyrenees spurs. Wild valleys, through which mountain streams flow, are connected in places by very narrow and high gorges. The climate in this area is mild with clean air, a quarter of the territory is covered with magnificent mountain forest.
The mountain river annually attracts many tourists, its mystery and power. The valley of the Ariege River offers a breathtaking beautiful view of the mountainous terrain.
