The county tourist office, located in Sort, offers an astonishing view of the county and opens its doors to the visitor displaying the history around the ending of feudal Catalonia, through the life story of the last count of El Pallars and, indeed of Catalonia, with an exhibition called "Muntanyes en rebel·lia ...

Hug Roger III i la fi de la Cataluya comtal " (Rebellious Mountains… Hug Roger III and the end of Catalan Countship)
The Museum-prison “The Trail of Freedom” shows the most human side of last century’s history, the experience of refugees in Sort, fleeing Nazism in Europe: "a museum for peace at the frontier ", in Sort .

The Shepherds Museum of the Valley of Àssua, located in the Aigüestortes and Estany de Sant Maurici National Park’s office, in Llessui, offers the testimony of a way of life in the high mountain.

Learn about the secrets of the largest population in the world, insects, through the life and facts of the most beautiful insect, the butterfly. This is possible with the explanations of the people who have centred their life around the study of butterflies, in the environmental education centre set inside the Butterfly Museum of Catalonia, in Pujalt, 10 minutes from Sort.

Visiting and exploring the villages of Sort and El Pallars Sobirà means discovering the landscapes of novels, inspiration for literary works such as " Voices of Pamano", " Tor: Thirteen Houses and Three Deaths", "Stone in a Landslide" , which are among some of the most frequently translated and sold books of Catalan literature.
