La Solana hostel is located on the edge of the medieval village Salàs de Pallars, in the middle of the Pallars Jussà County, 1 km. from Sant Antoni Reservoir. It has several traditional buildings adapted to modern needs. If you have needs around mobility, especially around use of stairs, please let us know so we can work out how we might best support you. Whilst the main spaces (dining room, big workshop room, main courtyard area) are wheel-chair accessible and there is one wheel-chair accessible dorm with 3 beds, we will be making use of all the hostel and its  different levels so it’s really important to know if use of stairs or steep ramps will be an issue for you.

The accommodation at the centre is in shared mixed-gender dormitories, with between 3 and 4 people per room. If you have any needs around this, or want a gender-specific space, please let us know so we can support you. The Ulex Project is inclusive of trans and gender nonconforming people and participants are trusted to select the accommodation option that they feel is most appropriate for them. We do not expect that people must look a certain way to stay in a dorm they feel is appropriate. All rooms have their own bathroom. Camping is an option. Please let us know in advance if you would like to do this. Bedding is provided but please bring your own towel and toiletries. You may also want to bring a torch for the night. Please note that the village has a very basic shop with limited opening hours and products – so bring any essentials you will need with you. It’s also worthwhile bringing some kind of insect repellent and sunscreen for summer months and warm clothes/ waterproof in the winter. There currently is a (quite old) dog in the centre. The entrance hall and courtyard are the only spaces he’s allowed in. Let us know if you need to discuss needs around this.

The Refugi Casa Bigodé is a recently reconstructed mountain refuge situated in the beautiful village Envall, in Vall Fosca (“The Dark Valley”), which is part of the first phase of the “reHabitar Envall” project of the cooperative Envall Coop. The village is about 1000 m above sea level, in the heart of the Conca de Tremp-Montsec Geopark and very close to the Alt Pirineu Natural Park and the Boumort hunting reserve. It’s 30 min drive from from one of the entrance gates to the Aigüestortes National Park and Estany de Sant Maurici and 10 minutes from the Montcortés lake.
