Located in the central [[Pyrenees]], Pallars Sobirà stretches from south to north, starting at the gorge of Collegats to the village of Alós d'Isil, following the course of the river [[Noguera Pallaresa]]. It is the fourth biggest comarca in Catalonia in terms of surface area, and has one of the lowest densities of population in the country, about 5.1 inhabitants per km². All together, it has approximately 7,000 inhabitants.

Pallars Sobirà contains the largest lake in the Pyrenees, the lake of [[Certascan]], and the highest peak in Catalonia, the [[Pica d'Estats]] (3,143&nbsp;m).

Most of Pallars Sobirà is a protected nature reserve. There are a few territories that belong to the PEIN (Pla d'Espais d'Interès Natural de Catalunya- Natural Interest Landscape Plan of Catalonia), as [[Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park]], the [[Alt Pirineu Natural Park]], the Natural Partial Reserve of La Noguera Pallaresa - Collegats, a wide range of areas belonging to the [[Natura 2000|Natura 2000 network]], the Natural Hunting Reserve of Boumort, etc.
