Trekking
In La Vall de Cardós, as in many other parts of the county, there are plenty of peaks and high mountain lakes: Certascan (the biggest lake in the Pyrenees), the Estany del Port (very close to France), Romedo, the summit of Pica d’Estats (the highest mountain in Catalonia), and many other ridges, mountain refuges and the traditional bordes, to have a rest along the way. There are also shorter and easier routes to follow with the family.
Gastronomy
In El Pallars Sobirà there is a wide range of friendly and small regional restaurants, with a developing personality thanks to their commitment for our resourceful cuisine: one can try dishes from the typical mountain kitchen to the highest renewed and most sophisticated gastronomy, where the combination between tradition and innovation is constantly explored. Regarding the food offer, and in addition to the restaurants, there are the local dairies, a few selected places where artisan cheese is elaborated, open to visitors.
Ski and adventure
There are six ski resorts in the area (La Pleta del Prat, Port-Ainé, Espot, Bosc de Virós, Tavascan and Baqueira Beret) to practice any type of snow activity, and also, the river Noguera Pallaresa, will be ideal for river sports.
Cultural tourism
Geographically, El Pallars Sobirà is an enclosed country, but far from isolating the culture, our distinct traditions and life style have survived. The visitor can have a glimpse of it with a visit to the nearby museums, the ancient churches, the Romanesque bridges, which can be found in many of the little villages and hamlets scattered all over the mountains… but most of all, it is felt by chatting with the villagers, who have lived in this outstanding scenery for many years.
