The Noguera Pallaresa is one of the best rivers in Europe for rafting and a true benchmark for adventure sports in the Pyrenees. It rises at an altitude of over 2,000 metres, in the Pla de Beret, and crosses the counties of Pallars Sobirà and Pallars Jussà before joining the Segre.
Thanks to its gradient, flow and the quality of its waters, the Noguera Pallaresa is considered one of the most spectacular rivers in the Iberian Peninsula for whitewater rafting. It is no coincidence that Pallars Sobirà is the birthplace of rafting in Catalonia and one of the most recognized destinations in Europe to experience this experience.
When can you go rafting?
The rafting season usually begins at the end of February or beginning of March and lasts until October, always depending on the river flow and weather conditions.
During spring, with the thaw, the river offers the most spectacular conditions to enjoy its rapids.
The most popular section: from Llavorsí to Sort
The descent between Llavorsí and Sort is the best-known route on the Noguera Pallaresa. At approximately 18 kilometres, it concentrates some of the most exciting rapids on the river and combines adrenaline-pumping sections with quieter areas where you can admire the landscape of the Pyrenees.
