The Reserva Nacional de Caça de Boumort (RNC - Boumort National Game Reserve) belongs to the Departament de Medi Ambient Department of the Environment) of the Generalitat de Catalunya and was established by Llei 17/1991, which was passed by the Catalan Parliament on 23rd October, 1991 with the aim of protecting, encouraging and benefiting from the wild animal species that live in the Reserve and conserving their respective ecosystems.

The Reserve has a total surface area of 13,097 ha and is located in the western part of the Catalan Pre-Pyrenees (Spain), between the valleys of the rivers Noguera Pallaresa and Segre. This territory contains a series of mountain ranges and valleys, of which it is possible to highlight the Serra de Boumort, the range that gives its names to the Reserve, Serra de Carreu, Serra de Cuberes and Serra de Batsacans.

The highest points in the Reserve are the peaks of Boumort (2,077 m), Pi Sec (1,917 m) and Cap de Carreu (1,848 m).

This is a typical Pre-Pyrenean landscape with abrupt ridges and rugged relief that create sharp contrasts and favour the existence of great diversity.
