There are countless excursions in this town, and they come in all shapes and sizes.
There are varied and beautiful natural landscapes throughout the Pyrenees, but few are as special as those found in the Pallars Sobirá region, as well as charming rural villages that provide a wonderful landscape of the area.
The hikes in Sort are, above all, scenic; that's what stands out most. If you really want to appreciate the entire region from a bird's-eye view, you can't miss a trip to Noguera Pallaresa and the Àssua Valley.
On this tour, we'll cross the entire river area at its highest point, enjoying views and memories that will remain etched in your memory for the rest of your life. During the excursion, we'll visit Rialp, crossing the 19th-century Santa Caterina suspension bridge. We'll enjoy the charming trails of this village's medieval castle and the picturesque streets of Olp, Surp, and Altron.
We're talking about a route of approximately 18 kilometers, not excessively difficult, that can be hiked year-round. All that aside, this is an unforgettable excursion that will leave no one indifferent.
Another recommended getaway is the Saverneda dragon, Tornafort, and Siarb Valley. We'll cross ravines and visit the friendly village of Puigforniu, where we'll learn about its origins and customs. We'll also enjoy the views from Montsent de Pallars and see native species such as the black woodpecker, a bird from the woodpecker family that is very characteristic of the area.
We want to tell you about canyoning. This sport is practiced in mountain or river ravines, requiring you to overcome obstacles or uneven surfaces along the way: whether by walking, jumping, swimming, rappelling, going down slides, etc. You'll have to jump into pools of water, slide down slides that water and time have carved into the rock, using ropes to rappel down.
On each descent, you can find sections with shallow water, points where the water is quite deep, and other sections with waterfalls, terrain with lush vegetation, sections where it seems as if night has fallen due to their narrowness and sinuosity.
