The big impulse of trekking in the county of El Pallars Sobirà starts in 1996, when the county government, the Consell Comarcal, decides to invest on the recovery of a very ancient and incredibly valuable human heritage. In the last decades, such heritage had been declining more and more as time went by: the old connecting routes, the old herd paths that had traditionally linked all the villages and hamlets. From that moment, many trekking guidebooks are published, a maintenance brigade is set up, and every passing year new links are established. The result is a great network of trails that allows the hiker a countless and varied offer of excursions to all the unexplored or hidden places of the region.
