Kayak hire on Lake Torrassa, in the Parc Natural de l'Alt Pirineu
Crossing Lake Torrassa from shore to shore at your own pace is what makes this kayak hire different. You choose the set-up to suit your group — single, double, triple or quadruple, all available in the fleet — and pick your duration: 30 minutes for a quick spin, 1 hour for a wider loop with stops, 2 hours to explore the entire lake. It all takes place within the Parc Natural de l'Alt Pirineu, on still waters with Pyrenean summits on the horizon.
At the RocRoi base the team hands over the kayak, the compulsory certified buoyancy aids and the paddles. The basic briefing covers the essentials: how to get in without capsizing, two-handed paddle technique, navigation area and how to get back to the jetty. Within 10 minutes the group is on the water.
The moment you remember is the landing on the opposite shore. The group pulls the kayak onto the sand, steps out for a few minutes, looks back and sees the RocRoi jetty small in the distance. Then comes the return paddle, with more confidence and the satisfaction of having crossed Lake Torrassa under your own steam.

Canadian canoe hire on Lake Torrassa, in the Parc Natural de l'Alt Pirineu
Step into an open canoe, sit high and paddle with single or double blades across still waters. This Canadian canoe hire on Lake Torrassa is the most classic way to navigate the Parc Natural de l'Alt Pirineu: a roomy, stable craft with interior space for passengers, rucksacks or a picnic. The voyaging silhouette of the canoe contrasts with the sportier profile of the kayaks nearby.
The activity starts at the RocRoi base beside the jetty. The team hands over the canoe to match the group — double, triple or quadruple — along with paddles and compulsory certified buoyancy aids. The briefing covers how to board without tipping, how to distribute weight and how to steer from the stern. Within ten minutes the group is afloat with complete independence.
The moment that stays with you is when everyone stops paddling and the canoe glides on by inertia across the still waters of the Alt Pirineu. Someone lifts a paddle just to hear it drip. That is the expedition feel: time standing still inside an open boat.
What the experience feels like
Families: triple or quadruple canoe with the children in the middle and the adults at each end. The open hull lets you bring rucksacks and sandwiches on board, and the child sits facing you — no need to turn round.
Couples: double canoe with room inside for a picnic. Stop to eat in the middle of Lake Torrassa without getting out of the boat — something impossible in a closed kayak.
Groups of friends: quadruple canoe so all four paddle at the same speed with normal conversation. The silence of the Pallars Sobirà comes along for the ride; the expedition feel is captured in the group photo.

FAQs
What is the difference between a Canadian canoe and a kayak?
A Canadian canoe is an open craft, wider and with interior space to carry rucksacks or a picnic inside. A kayak is closed, narrower and sportier. For groups with small children or picnic plans, the Canadian canoe is usually the most comfortable option.
Can a small child ride in the canoe?
Yes. From age 4, provided they are in the same canoe as a responsible adult. The open hull lets the child sit comfortably with space around them, and a compulsory certified buoyancy aid is included.
Can we bring a picnic or rucksack inside the canoe?
Yes. It is one of the big advantages of the open canoe over a kayak: the interior space takes rucksacks, dry bags or a full picnic. We recommend a dry bag if you are carrying items that must stay dry.
Which canoe configuration should I choose for my group?
Double canoe for couples or one adult with a child. Triple for families with a child in the middle and two adults at the ends. Quadruple for groups of 4. We do not have a single canoe — if you are travelling alone, the recommended option is the individual kayak at the same base.
Is it difficult to handle a Canadian canoe?
Not if the group coordinates. The initial briefing explains how to paddle, how to steer from the stern and how to distribute weight. The craft is wider and more stable than a kayak, which is more forgiving of beginner mistakes.
