Montgarri belongs to the municipality of Naut Aran, in the third of Pujòlo in the Val d'Aran region.
It is located at 1,645 meters above sea level, crossing the Pla de Beret. In 2005, it had only 3 registered inhabitants, due to the depopulation of the commune which took place between 1945 and 1955 due to difficulties in accessing the village.
Next to the sanctuary were a presbytery and a hospital. Currently, in place of the presbytery there is the Refuge de Montgarri and also a cabin which serves as a restaurant.

Montgarri has always been a place of extremes, it is one of the coldest towns on the peninsula and one of the towns located at the highest altitude in Catalonia. Today there are no houses left, only the refuge and the sanctuary are inhabited. The old houses, known as "bordas" are practically in ruins.
In recent decades it has regained some importance thanks to tourism and refuge, as it is strategically located between Pla de Beret, at the foot of the Baqueira Beret station, and the Valls d'Aneu.
