RIALP MATXICOTS EN PALLARS SOBIRÀ 2022

Qué es

Rialp Matxicots es un trail de alta montaña para corredores de todas las categorías.

El evento cuenta con tres modalidades según tramo y dificultad deportiva: la prueba grande, de 50 km y 4.500 metros de desnivel positivo, es el trail más goloso de la competición, pero también podrás participar en la prueba media, de 21 km y 1.500 metros de desnivel positivo o en la caminata de 10 km.

Una de las novedades de esta edición es que los niños de 3 a 16 años también tendrán su hueco con el denominado “Rialp Matxixics”. Además, se incluye una categoría Máster para los participantes mayores de 50 años.

Por qué correr en la Rialp Matxicots

El año pasado, la edición 11ª del Rial Matxicots fue elegida la Mejor Ultra Trail de Cataluña 2021. Desde sus inicios, son muchos los reconocimientos otorgados a la competición desde el portal Ultrescatalunya o el ranking Runedia-Mundo Deportivo, catalogado por los usuarios año tras año, como uno de los mejor valorados.

Y no es para menos.

El evento es una apuesta clara por el turismo de la zona, 100% volcado en deportes de montaña. Un fin de semana repleto de actividades en familia o con amigos para disfrutar de las mejores vistas.

Dentro del recorrido de la Rialp Motxicots, los corredores pasan por puntos emblemáticos como el Parque Nacional de Aigüestortes, Estany de Sant Maurici y el Parque Natural del Alt Pirineu.

Cascadas de agua, ríos, lagos conocidos por sus aguas bravas para practicar rafting, así como multitud de pueblos con encanto como Altron, Escàs, Roní o el pueblo abandonado de San Romà de Tavèrnoles.

Si vienes en familia, aprovecha tu escapada de fin de semana para hacer los 6 planes más top con niños en la misma zona.

Hacer el Rialp Matxicots es un reto competitivo de alto nivel que reúne a los mejores runners de España y otros países.

La ubicación del trial en la comarca del Pallars Sobirá es un reto para corredores debido a la morfología del terreno y pendiente. Los participantes entrenan con el objetivo de superar su marca año tras año, completar el trial y hacerlo en tiempo récord.

Rialp es un pueblo volcado con el running que cuenta con estaciones de entrenamiento disponibles durante todo el año.

Este año se esperan unas 1000 inscripciones.

Organizado por voluntarios con pasión, total dedicación y entrega.

Rialp Matxicots es un proyecto que pusieron en marcha, hace más de 10 años, un grupo de personas motivadas por el deporte y entorno. En la actualidad, más de 300 voluntarios y colaboraciones desinteresadas se unen para dar vida a este magnífico evento.

Esa es su esencia y clave de éxito.

Excursions or hiking

At this time of year, the snowy mountains in the background and the frost on the water give a magical touch to the environment.

Delve into the historic center

You don't like sports? Nothing happens. In Sort you can also stroll quietly through its old town discovering its historical and monumental beauty, yes, visit the Church of Sant Feliu. You will discover an authentic postcard town with its little houses made of stone and shops and artisan shops. And you know that a visit to the Bruixa d'Or is mandatory! Don't miss out on the opportunity to taste the gastronomy of Pallars Sobirá. We recommend you go to the Les Brases Restaurant to try the local sausages and cheeses, and later, locate a charcuterie to take our paltruc, gosset or tupí as a souvenir. You will want to have them at home!

We also advise you to walk along the slopes of Noguera Pallaresa, which shines in all its splendor in winter. And only if you are lucky and during those days it has recently snowed will you have the pleasure of seeing the river turned into ice, and making snowmen.

Surely with these reasons you are already looking forward to visiting this incredible town! Vindre a Sort is all a Sort!

Magical and lucky town

The town of sort is well known because on three occasions the extraordinary prize of the Christmas Lottery fell in this area (2003, 2004 and 2007), which fits perfectly with the Catalan word that gives the town its name, Sort.

Sort is also known for being a town of witches, since in the 16th century the local women made healing herbal remedies, but the Inquisition put an end to these practices.

One of the tourist sites in this town is Bruixa d'Or (The Golden Witch), a site where lottery tickets are sold. We are 50 meters from our hotel on the same street. In 2013, thousands of attendees came dressed as witches to attend a meeting that set a Guinness record.

Lots to see in Sort

Not only sports lovers will enjoy their stay in Sort, there are different activities and excursions to enjoy beautiful Pyrenean landscapes such as the paths that go to the Noguera Pallaresa and the Àssua Valley, as well as picturesque rural villages full of a lot of history.

Among the visits that should be on the itinerary is the Rialp, which is reached by crossing the 19th-century Santa Caterina suspension bridge or the San Mauricio Lake, in the Aigüestortes (Aguas Tuertas) National Park; you can also see the Els Encantats massif.

This national park has peaks over 3,000 meters high, ravines, rivers, waterfalls and swamps that are home to a great diversity of flora and fauna, as well as more than 200 ponds of the most varied shapes and colors.

The large number of rivers, waterfalls, ravines and ski resorts in the area is what allows it to be considered the capital of extreme sports, which is why lovers of this type of adventure come to practice climbing, hydrospeed and bungee jumping. , every year in this area.



The Noguera Pallaresa River is considered by experts to be among the best in Europe for whitewater sports, which is why it is the scene of an international rally where last year the 56th International Rally of the Noguera Pallaresa was held, organized by the Sort Town Hall , Pallars Sports Association, Catalan Canoeing Federation, Royal Spanish Canoeing Federation.

Zip line park in cims adventure park

In our acrobatic park you have three circuits of different difficulty levels: one for children with 8 zones, one for youth with 12 zones and one for adults with 20 zones. In addition to a 100-meter zip line, picnic area, bar service and WC.

The excursions in this town are innumerable, they come in all colors and flavors.

There are varied and beautiful natural landscapes throughout the Pyrenees, but few are as special as those found throughout the Pallars Sobirá region, as well as charming rural villages that provide a wonderful landscape in the area.

The excursions in Sort are, above all, scenic, it is what stands out most of all of them. If you really want to appreciate the entire region from a bird's eye view, you cannot miss an excursion to Noguera Pallaresa and the Àssua Valley.



In it we can cross the entire river area from the highest part and enjoy views and a memory that will remain engraved in your memory for the rest of your life. During the excursion we will visit Rialp, through the suspension bridge of the 19th century of Santa Caterina. We will enjoy the charming routes of the medieval castle of this town and the picturesque streets of Olp, Surp and Altron.

We are talking about a route of approximately 18 kilometers, not excessively hard, that we can travel throughout the year. Topics aside, this is an unforgettable excursion that will not leave anyone indifferent.

Another getaway that we recommend doing is the Saverneda dragon, Tornafort and the Siarb valley. We will cross ravines and visit the cozy village of Puigforniu, where we will discover its origins and customs. In addition, we will enjoy the views that Montsent de Pallars offers us and we will be able to see native species such as the black woodpecker, a bird from the woodpecker family that is very characteristic of the area.

We want to talk to you about canyoning, this sport is practiced in the ravines of a mountain or river, having to overcome obstacles or unevenness that are found along the way: either walking, jumping, swimming, rappelling, going down slides, etc. We will have to jump into pools of water, slide down slides that the water and the years have dug into the rock using ropes to go down with the rappelling technique.

In each descent you can find sections with low waters, points where the water is quite deep and other sections with waterfalls, land with exuberant vegetation, sections where it seems that it has been done at night due to its narrowness and sinuosity.

Five routes of the National Park

1. Ribera de Sant Nicolau Route This is one of the best-known routes in the Park. In about 3 hours, you will pass through such attractive places as the Sant Esperit waterfall, the Estany de Llebreta or the Planell d'Aigüestortes.

 A fable about patience and hope, excellent for understanding why the lottery in Sort is still one 
of the most deeply-rooted traditions why the lottery in Sort is still to this day one of the 
most deeply rooted traditions in our country and why so many people in our country and why so many

strongest hope is that which is born in the most difficult situations. Is the one that is born in 
the most difficult situations. We must have patience and never lose hope

Types of fishing and materials

• A fishing rod. There are different varieties and each of them has its own advantages, everything will depend on personal taste.
• Hooks . For fresh water it is good to have crickets, grasshoppers or earthworms on hand.
• The counterweights . They serve to throw the bait and sink it to the bottom since many of the fish usually swim in the depth.
• Finally, we must carry the buoys , they keep the bait firmly in place and so they do not scare the fish.

• Fly fishing is ideal for catching salmonids. The basis of this type is the use of flies as baits. The goal is to attract the fish in a natural way.
• The Bolognese modality seeks to attract the fish towards the fisherman through groundbait, which will serve as bait due to its strong smell.
• The return of the water is a very popular fishing in fresh water due to the environmental awareness that it entails. The catch and release of fish predominates because many do it for the love of fishing and not for the subsequent capture of fish.

Tips for going fishing

1. The time we go favors achieving our goal. Although today it is not known what is the best time of day to fish, there are more likely to catch fish with the absence of light and noise. Therefore, the best chance of getting one will vary from early morning to 9:30 in the morning.
2. The Noguera river area is full of ideal places to fish. So we leave you below a useful fishing map depending on the section.
3. We must not forget our fishing permit, without it we will not be able to carry out the activity.
4. The best months to go out vary from July to September. The water is low and the good weather accompanies the fish biting more.
5. It is advisable to rest early to be able to be strong the next day. Our hotel is very close to the river and is ideal for falling asleep before a hard day of fishing.
