The rafting experience in Llavorsí – Rialp

You arrive at the RocRoi Adventure Center in Llavorsí — ground zero for rafting on the Noguera Pallaresa — and you immediately sense this is about more than just running a river. The team welcomes you, hands out the technical gear (wetsuit, windbreaker, neoprene shoes, buoyancy aid and helmet) and drives you to the put-in point in Llavorsí, in the heart of the Pallars Sobirà.

There, the licensed guides run the briefing: how to paddle, where to sit in the raft, what to expect from each rapid and how to react in every situation. You hit the water with confidence — even if it's your first time.

The descent starts progressively. The first rapids let the group coordinate and read the river; then the Noguera Pallaresa opens up into livelier whitewater sections with waves, rollers and bends you'll celebrate stroke by stroke. In between, calm stretches give you time to look up: rock walls, riverside forest, the Lleida Pyrenees lining the entire route and the distant silhouette of the Alt Pirineu Natural Park.

The grand finale comes just before Rialp, where you string together the most fun section of the run and close out the classic descent. When you step out of the raft you'll be wet, smiling and ready to tell the story. Return transport to the centre is included so you only need to worry about one thing: swapping the best anecdotes from the river.

Depending on the season, the water level changes the river's character: May and June deliver the biggest thrills thanks to Pyrenean snowmelt; in summer the Noguera Pallaresa mellows out and becomes the top choice for families and larger groups.

The rafting and introductory canyoning experience in Llavorsí

This COMBO brings together the two most popular water activities in Pallars Sobirà in a clear, easy-to-enjoy format. It is perfect for those who want a first taste of adventure without stepping into advanced levels.

In the morning you do the rafting section from Llavorsí to Rialp, the stretch with the most rapids on the Noguera Pallaresa: we gear you up, your guide gives a full safety briefing and you head out on the river with clear instructions on how to paddle, position yourself and enjoy the run safely. RocRoi’s bus takes care of all rafting transfers so you do not waste time: you park at base and forget about the logistics.

In the afternoon it is time for the introductory canyon, with a short approach, easy abseils and plenty of natural slides (the kind of canyon that hooks you). It is the perfect option if you are coming with children or if you want to get started without big scares: the guide adapts the pace and offers alternatives when needed.

The result: a full, fun day that feels like the “real Pyrenees”, with no fine print.

The paragliding experience in Àger over the Montsec

Paragliding in Àger is one of the most spectacular aerial experiences you can have in Catalonia. Located in the Montsec mountain range, this destination is internationally recognised for its perfect conditions for free flight: stable thermals, open landscapes and panoramic views of the Pre-Pyrenees.

The experience begins at the meeting point in Àger, where you will meet your professional pilot. After a brief explanation of how the paraglider works and the basic safety rules, you will head up to the take-off point on the mountain.

Take-off is straightforward: a few steps down the slope and the paraglider lifts gently into the air. Within seconds you will be flying over the Àger valley, with sweeping views of the Montsec range, the Pre-Pyrenean plains and the spectacular Congost de Mont-rebei.

Over approximately 45 minutes of flight, your pilot will use the thermal currents to gain altitude and keep the paraglider aloft while you enjoy a feeling of total freedom. The flight is smooth and stable, ideal both for first-timers and for anyone who wants to experience paragliding over one of Europe's finest flying landscapes.

The landing is a gentle touch-down in the valley, where the activity comes to a close after a truly memorable aerial adventure.

The hot air balloon experience over Montserrat

The experience begins before take-off. At sunrise, the crew lays out the balloon while the Catalan sky starts to brighten. The pre-flight briefing, the inflation of the balloon and climbing into the basket are all part of the experience: watching it grow, feeling the heat of the burner and knowing that in a few minutes you will be airborne.

Once in the air, the balloon drifts gently over the valleys of l'Anoia. The silhouette of Montserrat appears on the horizon: the rocky formations, the needle peaks, the Monastery visible among the stone. From 500 to 1,500 metres altitude, the Mediterranean, the vineyards of the Penedès and the fields of Central Catalonia unfold in a silence that takes you by surprise. No engine, no vibrations: just the wind and the pilot's voice.

The landing, always controlled, adapts to the air currents of the day. No two flights follow the same route: the wind decides, the pilot steers, you enjoy. After touching down, the crew opens the Catalan cava. The toast, the picnic breakfast and the presentation of the flight diploma signed by the pilot close an experience you will remember for years.

The Viu de Llevata Canyon Experience

The Viu de Llevata canyon, near Pont de Suert (Alta Ribagorça, Lleida), is one of the most complete canyoning experiences in the Catalan Pyrenees. Located between the Vall de Boí and the mountain core of the Alta Ribagorça, this descent stands out for its non-stop flow and dynamic character.

Rated Level 3 – Adventure, it requires good physical fitness and the drive to keep moving for several hours in an aquatic environment. It is not extreme or technically advanced, but it is long and more demanding than a beginner route — 3 real hours inside the canyon and a total duration of around 4 hours.

After meeting in Pont de Suert, you will receive certified technical equipment and a clear briefing from your qualified guide. From there, the route flows like a natural water park: constant progression, water and continuous movement through a spectacular setting of crystal-clear natural pools, rock-sculpted slides, abseils of up to 12 metres and exciting jumps — including the famous Tarzan jump.

It is a perfect choice for active families with children from age 12 (accompanied), sporty couples or groups who want a real adventure in Lleida, with the safety and professional support that defines RocRoi. The nearby Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park and the Alt Pirineu Natural Park also give you the chance to explore these protected areas before or after your descent.

The Rafting + Bridge Swing Pack experience on the Gállego River

The Pre-Pyrenean canyon carved by the Gállego over millions of years has two faces. This pack invites you to see them both on the same day: first from inside the water, then from the air.

Morning — Rafting: the river from within, as a team

The day begins at the Murillo de Gállego base. The RocRoi team hands out the technical gear — 5mm wetsuit, helmet, life jacket and neoprene booties — and the guide delivers the full briefing before heading to the starting point of the descent. El Embudo and the 'S' mark the moment when the group becomes a team. The guide steers the navigation and opens windows onto the surroundings — the geology of the canyon, the riverside wildlife, the history of the Kingdom of the Mallos — during the calm stretches between rapids. Two hours of actual descent, then back to the base with transport included.

Midday — Break in Riglos

Between activities, free time for a light meal in Riglos. The village sits literally at the foot of the Mallos — conglomerate spires of up to 300 metres that climbers know as one of the most important big wall destinations in Europe. Views of the river you've just descended, views of the wall you can't imagine climbing. The break is part of the day.

Afternoon — Bridge Swing: the same river, seen from the void

The guide equips each participant with a full-body harness, helmet and a certified double-rope, double-carabiner system, then delivers the technical briefing: the dynamics of the pendulum, the jump position, what to expect in the air. No rush. The bridge sits 25 metres above the Gállego, with the Mallos in the background. The jump is a pendulum swing: you don't fall vertically like in elastic bungee jumping — instead, you trace a clean arc beneath the bridge, with the river gleaming below. The dynamic rope absorbs energy progressively — a real, long sensation of flight, with no sudden bounce.

Note: The flow regulated by the La Peña dam guarantees optimal conditions on the Gállego from March to October for both activities.

The kayak hire experience in Vilanova i la Geltrú

The session begins at the RocRoi nautical base on Ribes Roges beach. Before entering the water, the team checks the wind and sea conditions and advises you on the best route for the day. The open kayaks (sit-on-top) by RTM and RPI are self-draining, stable and easy to handle: a few basic pointers and you will be paddling confidently, moving away from the swimming area and into a coastline that changes character with every stroke.

In a first hour you discover what the coast looks like from the sea: the Pasífae sculpture — three tonnes of copper gazing at the horizon from the breakwater — becomes your first landmark. You round the breakwater and catch a glimpse of the Cubelles shoreline. With two hours, and if conditions allow, you can reach the rocky formations of Punta Grossa, where the Garraf Natural Park cliffs drop straight into the Mediterranean.

Back at the base, well-equipped changing rooms and showers are waiting to close the experience as comfortably as possible. Nothing to sort out, nothing to improvise.

The 1h30 hydrospeed experience on the Noguera Pallaresa

The hydrospeed run from Yeti to Gulleri is the most demanding and complete descent the Noguera Pallaresa in Llavorsí has to offer. The experience starts at the RocRoi base, where you receive full kit — wetsuit, helmet, life jacket and fins — and a thorough technical briefing. The first few kilometres of calmer water allow you to settle your position, practise turning and understand how the hydroboard responds to each movement of your body.

Then the real river begins. La Lavadora and the Cuatro Largo are the two moments that define this experience: Class III and IV rapids where the current gathers all its power and you choose how to cut through it. The qualified guide accompanies you by kayak throughout the entire run, setting the optimal line and responding to every situation in real time.

The descent lasts approximately 90 minutes on the water, with a rest stop at La Moleta before the final section. Afterwards, the shuttle takes you back to the RocRoi base, where changing rooms with showers are waiting.
