Rafting from Llavorsí to Rialp
Rafting from Llavorsí to Rialp is the most iconic stretch of the Noguera Pallaresa river and one of the star activities of the Pallars Sobirà. 14 kilometres of moving water, rapids of every colour and plenty of laughs from start to finish.
It’s an activity designed to enjoy in a group, with just the right rapids to feel the adrenaline of whitewater, but at a beginner level that makes it accessible to anyone who has never set foot in a raft.
Ideal for families, groups of friends, hen and stag parties, or anyone who wants to experience the Pallars from a different point of view: the river’s.
Rafting in Llavorsí, the experience with the most rapids in the Pallars!
In the Pallars Sobirà, rafting is almost a tradition, and the Llavorsí to Rialp stretch is the most complete of all: the one with the most rapids on the Noguera Pallaresa river.
The route starts with a calm first stretch where we already get our first taste of whitewater, and continues with increasingly lively sections, where paddling together and following the guide’s instructions becomes the key to the adventure.
Around the middle of the route comes the section with the most rhythm, where the team will need to be well coordinated to get through the most fun rapids of the day. And just before reaching Rialp, the river gives us one last calm stretch to take in the scenery and everything we’ve just lived.
Just bring your enthusiasm to laugh, get wet and have an adventure. We’ll take care of the res

Technical description of the rafting trip
To get to know the rafting trip a bit better, we need the right information to plan our activity. So here is a short technical description of the descent:
- Location: Llavorsí to Rialp
- Difficulty: easy
- Approach: 15 minutes by car
- Duration of the descent: 1-2 hours
- Distance of the descent: 14 km
The Llavorsí to Rialp stretch is the best known on the Noguera Pallaresa because it has the most rapids on the whole river, alternating with calmer sections to catch your breath and enjoy the scenery.
During the descent we’ll go through livelier water where everyone has to paddle in unison, and calmer areas where the river lets us enjoy the views of the Pallars from the water.
It’s an activity designed for groups, where teamwork and the guide’s instructions are just as important as wanting to have a good time. No previous experience is needed: the guide will explain everything before you start.
