FAQs
What is the difference between the Estarón Superior and the Estarón Inferior?
The Superior is the beginner-to-intermediate stretch: slate slides, abseils of up to 20 metres and a more playful pace. The Inferior is the technical refinement stretch: more vertical waterfalls, continuous rope manoeuvres and less water play. Superior for those discovering the Pallars through canyoning; Inferior for those who want to perfect their technique.
What is the difficulty level of the Estarón Inferior?
Adventure level — technical / refinement. The verticality is greater than on the upper stretch and the abseils demand more attention and skill. It is the option for those who have already had a first contact with canyoning and are looking for a more technical challenge in the Pallars Sobirà.
Is prior experience required?
Strongly recommended. Given its technical character, having completed at least one previous canyon is advisable, along with good physical fitness and a complete absence of vertigo. If your first canyon was the Berros, Sant Pere or Estarón Superior, the Inferior is the natural next step to progress in rope technique in a Pallars environment.
What technical equipment is used on the Estarón Inferior?
High-density wetsuit, wetsuit shoes, CE-certified helmet, technical harness with lanyards, safety carabiners and descender. RocRoi checks all equipment scrupulously before every outing. Participants only need to bring swimwear, a thermal underlayer, sports footwear with a good sole and laces, and a change of footwear.
How long does it take and where is the meeting point?
The activity takes approximately 4 hours in total — 3 hours of actual descent plus transfer by own vehicle and approach. The meeting point is the RocRoi base in Llavorsí (Hort de Rei s/n, C-13 km 140). From there the group travels by own vehicle following the guide’s car, and afterwards returns to base to use the showers and changing rooms.
