Which fires are still going
INFOAR publishes the day's list. On 5 August it ran to Viu, Peña Montañesa above La Cabezonada and Ligüerre de Ara in Fiscal, none of them large.The alert level for your zone
Aragón rates fire danger zone by zone each day. On 5 August the red level covered Jiloca-Gallocanta, Maestrazgo, Somontano Occidental and Turia, not the Sobrarbe valleys.Whether vehicles are barred from wooded land
Decree 22/2026 lets Aragón ban motor vehicles from the montes when the alert reaches red plus. The national park carries that restriction on its own notices page, so read it there before driving up a forest road.Forest tracks near the fires
Crews are working from the tracks around Viu and La Cabezonada. No access ban has been announced for Sobrarbe, but a track with an engine on it is not a walking route.Nearby alternatives to compare
- The Ordesa valley,Open on the national park's own notices page. Private cars are barred until 20 September and the bus runs from the Torla-Ordesa visitor centre to the Pradera car park.
- The Pineta valley,Also listed as open, and on the far side of the park from the fires.
- Torla-Ordesa,The gateway village for the park and where the shuttle bus starts. Nothing there has been reported affected.
