Una experiència salvatge des del Pey Resort (Sort)

El cel del Pallars Sobirà és territori de grans rapinyaires. Sobrevolant cingleres, valls i serralades, els voltors ofereixen un espectacle natural impressionant que fascina tant aficionats a l’ornitologia com amants de la fotografia i la natura.

Allotjant-te al Pey Resort de Sort, tens accés privilegiat a alguns dels millors punts d’observació del Pirineu.


🌄 Quins voltors podem veure?

A la zona hi habiten diverses espècies de gran interès:

  • 🦅 Voltor comú (Gyps fulvus) – el més abundant, fàcil de reconèixer per la seva gran envergadura.
  • 🦅 Trencalòs (Gypaetus barbatus) – una de les joies del Pirineu, especialitzat en ossos.
  • 🦅 Aufrany (Neophron percnopterus) – més petit i migrador, visible a la primavera i estiu.
  • 🦅 Voltor negre (Aegypius monachus) – present en algunes zones del Prepirineu.

Els corrents tèrmics fan que sovint es puguin observar planejant durant hores amb elegància espectacular.
