The Vall de Sau is located in the western part of the Osona region, dominated by the iconic Sau Reservoir and surrounded by dramatic cliffs and dense woodlands. This is a territory of high ecological and scenic value, forming part of the Guilleries-Savassona Natural Area, a protected space perfect for hiking and nature lovers.<\/strong><\/p>\n We recommend exploring its paths and viewpoints, either on your own or by joining one of the many guided tours and activities regularly offered. It\u2019s worth checking the local schedule to make the most of your visit.<\/p>\n At the heart of the valley lies the Sau Reservoir, where you can enjoy various water activities or \u2014 depending on the water level \u2014 see the haunting remains of the old village of Sant Rom\u00e0 de Sau, whose bell tower still rises from the depths. The surrounding cliffs and natural scenery make this a postcard-perfect location.<\/p>\n Another unmissable stop is the Monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres, a former Benedictine monastery perched on a bend of the Ter River. Its historical importance and striking location make it one of the most spectacular heritage sites in the area.<\/p>\n On the way there, don\u2019t miss two cultural gems. In Sant Juli\u00e0 de Vilatorta, the Art i Mur mural route showcases the town\u2019s traditional craft of ceramic.
