In Sort, the capital of the Pallars Sobirà, the Hotel Pessets opens its spa to non-guests: heated pool, sauna and massages. It is on the way back from Port Ainé or Espot, and it is the afternoon plan for when it rains, when your legs can take no more or when a day of rafting or skiing calls for hot water.

What there is

The hotel's spa has a heated pool and sauna, and a glazed rest area looking onto the garden. You pay by the hour: admission is for one hour.

Massages are by booking and subject to availability. The hotel offers relaxing, muscle-release, tired-legs, anti-cellulite and craniofacial massage, the latter for head, face and neck. They are given by qualified masseuses, with natural oils. They cost €40 for 25 minutes, €70 for 50 and €90 for 80.

Hours and price

One hour, €20; if you sleep at the hotel or in its apartments, €14. The hotel publishes these prices as valid until 14 November 2026, so confirm them when you book from that date.

It is open Tuesday to Friday from 16:00 to 21:00, Saturday from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 16:00 to 21:00 and Sunday from 10:00 to 13:00; it is closed on Mondays. At Christmas it closes on 24 and 25 December; on the 26th it opens from 16:00 to 21:00 and on the 27th, from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 16:00 to 21:00.

Always book beforehand on 973 620 000, from 16:00 to 21:00. Children may enter, but always with an adult.

How to fit it into the day

The hotel is at avinguda de la Diputació, 3, in the centre of Sort, and can be reached on foot from anywhere in the village. Tuesday to Saturday afternoon is the best slot: you come down from Port Ainé or from Espot, have a shower and have the pool until nine. On Sunday, however, it opens only in the morning, so do not count on it when you come back from the pistes.

If you want to sleep in the same place, there is the entry for the Hotel Pessets & Spa.
