Hiking

The Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park is very easy to reach via Espot. The central information point is located here. Access to the park with private vehicles is not permitted, but shuttle taxis are allowed to operate from Espot on the well-developed forest road to the Estany de Sant Maurici lake. Espot with its small hotels and accommodations is very suitable as a base.

Mountain biking

Town that gives access to the National Park of Aigüestortes and Lake of San Mauricio. Hard climb, which can be completed with a refreshing swim in the La Torrassa reservoir.
