Catalan Pyrenees Level 1
The town of Sort in the Spanish Pyrenees offers stunning scenery, a great location and a range of superb activities.
Little wonder that it has become a haven for activity and adventure enthusiasts. We offer two holidays here based on, and around, the Noguera Palleresa River. The first is a gentler adventure aimed at providing thrills with time for relaxation and exploration. The second holiday is more intense and packed with activities from start to finish. Both include probably the best day of white water rafting anywhere in Europe.

Wednesday
Flights, Arrival & Introduction
We will be transferred from Barcelona Airport to our accommodation in the Pyrenean town of Sort.
After settling in to our apartments, we will meet with the rest of the group for a welcome meal and an introductory meeting with our guide.
Thursday
National Park Picnic Trek
Today we witness the outstanding natural beauty of the Aigues Tortes National Park with 3000m peaks and picture postcard lakes. Our gentle trek allows us to fully appreciate Catalonia’s mountain landscapes. Picnic lunch.
Friday
Canyoning - Level I
We use a family friendly route and after a 30 minute walk (gentle uphill) we hit the water. We use various methods to descend the canyon including natural water slides and chutes, abseiling and simply jumping into deep pools.
A great experience in the water for all the family.
Saturday
Guingueta Lake Action Day
A jam-packed day featuring 6 different activities and a picnic lunch. From our base at Guingueta Lake you will spend time cycling, rock climbing on an artificial wall, playing volleyball and football, kayaking and canoeing.
Sunday
Open Kayaking
This is an ideal sport for those who wish to experience the sensation of white water without the need for too much skill. After instruction, you set off towards the rapids of the Noguera Palleresa River. The descent makes it possible to discover beautiful spots on the river and enjoy the thrill of white water without being an experienced paddler.
Monday
Free Day
Try one of your favourite activities again or sample an array of additional activities available locally including: walking, trekking, cycling, mountain biking, horse riding, quad biking, hydrospeeding, advanced canyoning and paragliding. Alternatively, why not take a day off and simply relax by the hotel’s swimming pool?
Tuesday
White Water Rafting
In our opinion, the Noguera Palleresa offers possibly the best day of white water rafting anywhere in Europe. It’s not just the rapids that make today such a great experience. Stunning mountain scenery and the sheer, steep sided rock faces of the Canyonlands add to an unforgettable day on the water. Lunch included.
Saturday
Depart or Extend Your Stay
Today it’s time to wave goodbye to Sort as we transfer back to Barcelona Airport. Alternatively you can choose to extend your stay. We offer a 4 day extension here in Sort allowing you plenty of time to relax or to try some of the many activities available locally. |
