The Arén Lodge, home base for Salvelinus, is far more than a traditional fishing lodge—it's an intimate retreat set in the heart of the 10th-century medieval village of Arén. For over three centuries, Juan Antonio's family has managed this historic "Fonda," welcoming travelers from around the globe. Ideally located, the lodge provides access to diverse fishing waters and boasts excellent weather conditions from March to November.

The lodge features eight beautifully restored bedrooms spread across the first and second floors. On the ground floor, you'll find a spa and wellness center complete with a massage room, sauna, jacuzzi, and gym, as well as a heated wader room and a cozy in-house fly shop.

Dining is an experience in itself, with meals served at a nearby hotel restaurant renowned as one of the most authentic eateries in the region. The menu highlights fresh, local, and organic ingredients, paired with exceptional regional wines, elevating traditional dishes into unforgettable culinary delights.

Arrival

All Salvelinus programs include ground transfers from/to Barcelona to/from lodge. Salvelinus staff will pick guests up from their desired hotels and will bring guests back to their hotels at the end of the trip.

Fishing/Touring Days

After breakfast guests will have the option to participate in the activity of their choice. Anglers will get to fish in freestone rivers, gin-clear creeks, and easy-wading tailwaters, where they have the opportunity to land a fish of a lifetime. Travel companions can explore a selection of thoughtfully crafted activities including food/wine tours, light hiking, kayaking, and cultural visits. Based on their selection a guide will be assigned to help oversee the guests’ experience.

Anglers and travel companions will have the option to meet for lunch or eat separately. At the conclusion of the day’s activity, guests will have time to return to the lodge and freshen up before dinner. Some itineraries include fishing for anglers or guided activities for travel companions from a satellite location. The satellite location will be a 4/5-star hotel. This will provide anglers the opportunity to access isolated waters.

Departure

Depart from the lodge for an anticipated noon arrival in Barcelona.

Fishing

The Pyrenees offer a hidden fly-fishing paradise, boasting over 1,500 miles of trout-rich waters spread across 14 main valleys, 60 tributaries, more than 2,500 alpine lakes, three National Parks, and over 20 Nature Reserves. Rising from 600 to 7,500 feet above sea level, this diverse landscape provides year-round fly-fishing opportunities for a variety of species.

The region's waters vary dramatically, from small mountain streams, spring creeks, and pristine alpine lakes in the High Pyrenees to broader freestone rivers, reservoirs, and tailwater fisheries in the Lowlands. Pyrenean rivers, spanning lengths from 12 to 125 miles, offer unique characteristics at every turn. Their gin-clear waters are perfect for wading upstream, using dry flies, droppers, nymphs, and streamers to target trout. Each pool and current has its own distinct personality, with feeding locations and lies that are truly one-of-a-kind—and Salvelinus knows them all.

Salvelinus guides often employ a New Zealand-style approach, focusing on quality over quantity by guiding anglers to target individual high-value fish one at a time. It’s an intimate and rewarding way to experience the unmatched beauty and challenge of fly fishing in the Pyrenees.

Non-Angling Activities

The Spanish Pyrenees are home to some of the most beautiful villages and breathtaking countryside we've ever seen. In the company of local, expert guides, you'll discover Romanesque villages and an ancient stone monastery dating back to the Middle Ages. Take time to absorb the incredible scenery and learn about the history of the region on easy-going hikes in an impressive gorge and National Parks. No visit to the Pyrenees would be complete without visiting a vineyard; we'll take you to one of the region's finest organic wineries to sample the local wines followed by a barbecue lunch.
