The floor of the valley lies about 2,000 metres (6,600 ft) above sea level and is accessible from the south via a rack railway (the Vall de Núria Rack Railway) or by foot, and from France to the north by footpaths. There are no roads to access the valley. The place is historically notable for the 1931 drafting of the first Catalan Statute of Autonomy, in the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Núria.
Vall de Núria is a ski resort located in the Núria valley, in Catalonia. The ski area extends from 1,964 to 2,252 metres.

Great view of the Nuria Valley.
Collet de les Barraques
The site has wide views of the Serra de Montgrony and the Rigard valley, as well as the Corral Blanc refuge, parking, a picnic area and viewpoints. Several walking routes begin here, including an ascent towards Puigmal. In winter, confirm that the access track is open and passable before starting the route.
Coll de Meianell
This mountain pass, at just above 1,930 metres, stands on the boundary between Pardines and Vilallonga de Ter. It marks the transition from black-pine woodland to open grazing land and is a good place to watch birds of prey. It also serves as a starting point for walks to Puig Cerverís and Balandrau. A vehicle can reach it via the Ribesaltes–Tregurà forest track.
Salt de la Cua de Cavall
Forat de l'Embut
is a striking karst feature where a stream disappears into a network of fissures and underground passages, then emerges again beyond the mountain. The contrasting local geology explains the effect: the pale marble contains water-soluble limestone, while the darker schist does not dissolve.
Following the reference point that leaves Setcases and goes up the Carboneres stream, we find the gorges of Cossi de Batlló. Following the Setcases track to Espinavell, we can see the black pine forests of Baga de Carboners. Further on, the Baidana viewpoint, with spectacular panoramic views of Pastuira and Serrat del Dob.
