Hiking in autumn is one of the most popular activities in the Pyrenees for several reasons: ideal temperature for going up and down mountains, spectacle of colors in the forest and collecting wild mushrooms. Although this last point in the National Park is prohibited, we can enjoy hiking in many ways and in many different places in Pallars Sobirà.
 
At RocRoi we invite you to enjoy the mountains with our expert guides who will show you the most beautiful corners of the different areas and explain the history of these magnificent places.

  1. Deer rutting

The deer rut is one of the star activities in autumn in Pallars Sobirà. Until October 18 you can see the mating of these wild animals in the middle of nature. The expert guides will teach you where and how to position yourself to see it better, since it is important to take into account the direction of the wind and other natural aspects so as not to scare the animals.

  • Km.0 and craft product fairs

In autumn, the km.0 craft product fairs are also typical in the towns with the most tourism, such as Sort or Esterri d’Àneu. We invite you to discover and try typical Pyrenean artisan products for yourself or as a gift.

 

  • Monumental tree cycle

The cycle of monumental trees consists of four acts divided into several activities that include a walk with an interpretive guide; the artistic intervention in the surroundings of the monumental tree; a small talk from the person visiting and, finally, a pica pica.

It is an activity with a cost of €5/pers. And the reservation must be made here.

 

  • Enjoy the gastronomy of the area in the typical restaurants

In Pallars Sobirà you will find hundreds of restaurants and bars with Pyrenean cuisine prepared in a homemade way with products from kilometer 0. “Xoliç”, “bull”, “llonganisses”, vegetables from the restaurant’s garden, etc.

 

Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy gastronomy with years of history.
