Catalan Pyrenees Level 2
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.

& Highlights |

Sunday
Flights, Arrival and Introduction
Transfer from Barcelona Airport to the Hotel Pey in Sort. After checking in we will get together for an introductory meeting which will be followed by a welcome dinner.
Monday
National Park Picnic Trek
The Aigues Tortes National Park is a nature lover’s paradise: lakes, waterfalls, rugged peaks and pine, birch, fir and beech forests are but a few of the highlights. Our trek amidst 3000m high mountains includes the Sant Maurici Lake and allows us to experience some of the best scenery in Spain yet alone Catalonia! A picnic lunch is included.
Tuesday
Open Kayaking
We have a free morning today before heading onto the water. Our introduction to the Noguera Palleresa River is in inflatable open kayaks - the perfect way to get to know the water! It’s just us, a kayak and paddle against the white water as we steer our course downstream. Great fun with an adrenaline rush to match.
Wednesday
Guingueta Lake Action Day
A fabulous setting at Guingueta Lake provides everything we need for a non-stop day which includes: cycling, volleyball, kayaking, football, climbing on an artificial wall and canoeing. A picnic lunch is included.
Thursday
Canyoning - Level II
A 30 minute uphill walk takes us to our start point. From there we descend the canyon using a series of natural slides and water chutes as well as abseiling, swimming and simply jumping and diving into deep pools of water.
Friday
AM - Hydrospeeding PM - Kayak Course
Hydrospeeding is an awesome adventure sport which gets you as close to the river as possible. Confidence is vital. Wearing a wetsuit, helmet and flippers we have to steer our beefed up body boards through the rapids of the Noguera Palleresa River. A true adrenaline rush.
Our 2 hour kayak session is held on the Campo de Slalom Course in Sort. Under the tuition of some of Spain’s best instructors we will be encouraged to hone our skills and utilise them to negotiate the course.
Saturday
White Water Rafting
Quite simply an outstanding day of white water rafting taking us through stunning mountain scenery and thrilling white water rapids. The morning session is followed by lunch before the jaw-dropping descent into the stunning Canyonlands. A fitting finalé to an exhilarating week.
Sunday
Depart or Extend your Stay
All good things must come to an end as we transfer back to Barcelona but you can arrange to extend your stay in Sort. Simply contact us for more details. |
