Montsent de Pallars

Montsent de Pallars reaches 2,883 meters above sea level, separating the Vall Fosca from Vall d'Àssua between the municipalities of La Torre de Cabdella and Sort.

The mountain territory belonged to the ancient county of Pallars, which was first documented in historical records during the ninth century under the name 'comitatuts pallarensis'.

The mountain name derives from local Catalan terminology, where 'pala' refers to a mountain slope characterized by smooth surfaces and extreme steepness.

Hiking trails to the summit start near Coll de Triador in Llessui, covering 7.6 kilometers with an elevation gain of 820 meters over approximately four and half hours.

The mountain features contrasting faces: its western side displays rocky formations while the eastern slope contains extensive alpine meadows reaching down to the valley.
