Bus
ALSA is the public transportation company offering regular bus rides straight from Barcelona and Lleida. The company also offers a transportation service connecting many neighbouring towns and villages. As the timetables can be modified for public holidays and summer vacation, we recommend you to check the company's official website.
Car
There are three main well-paved roads connecting Pallars Sobirà with the rest of Catalonia: road N-260 from the South, road N-260 from the East and road C-28 from the North. Some stretches run between high mountains and can be closed due to snow in winter. If you are planning to come in winter, make sure you have good snow chains in your car.

Shared taxi
The poor public transportation network in the region has fostered the creation of a private transportation network known as shared taxis to cover a large variety of routes. Shared taxis offer the possibility of getting to remote villages out of the main roads, but also getting to big cities in different regions at the desired time. Fares are usually fixed in advance.

Tot i que el Pallars Sobirà no disposa de cap connexió ferroviària, es pot arribar amb tren fins a La Pobla de Segur, a la comarca veïna del Pallars Jussà. La Pobla de Segur està connectada amb Tremp, Balaguer i Lleida a través d'una línia operada per Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya anomenada El tren dels llacs.
