The Catalan Pyrenees are a unique natural setting that offers the opportunity to engage in a variety of mountain activities and sports that, due to their terrain, are not possible in most Spanish territories.
Whether in winter or summer, you can fully enjoy these idyllic landscapes of the Pyrenees with family, friends, or as a couple. Today, we'll showcase four of the most popular summer activities in the natural surroundings near Sort, where Hotel Les Brases is located.
Outdoor activities to enjoy in Sort
Canyoning
In the Pallars Sobirá region, where we are located, we can get our adrenaline pumping by canyoning in the “Barranc de Sant Pere,” a rugged and wild place where we can leave stress aside and recharge our batteries by swimming in the crystal-clear waters of its various pools along the route and performing dizzying jumps (always under the supervision and advice of the instructor, of course).
Horseback riding routes
If you're a true animal lover, this is the activity for you. Exploring the beautiful green areas of the Pyrenees on horseback is one of those experiences you'll never forget. It's especially appealing for children and young people, who generally have a strong connection with these noble animals, with whom we'll ride along some of the region's most beautiful trails.
Rafting
In recent years, rafting has become the favorite activity for many visitors who come to Sort to enjoy their holidays. Why? Because the Noguera Pallaresa River, which runs through the region, and its tributary, the Segre River, are especially suitable for this fun activity. It's no surprise that entire families and even many groups of friends take the plunge and try rafting, as well as hydrospeeding and canoeing, other popular activities in this area. No previous experience is necessary, but it is important to follow the instructor's instructions very seriously to ensure the activity is perfect.
Hiking
When we talk about outdoor activities to enjoy the Catalan Pyrenees in summer, we can't forget one star activity: hiking. At Hotel Les Brases, we invite you to take hiking trails that will take you to the beautiful Aigüestortes National Park and Sant Maurici Lake. These are protected natural gems that will never leave anyone indifferent due to their rich resources and the harmony they exude. Tall trees, endless meadows, free-roaming animals, and a vast lake that will leave you speechless... you can enjoy all this and much more if you come to Sort on vacation. Don't worry if you're not in good shape, as there are plenty of hiking trails to suit all levels, making it a highly recommended activity for children as well.
