El Pallars Sobirà is a comarca (comparable to a county or shire in much of the English-speaking world) in the mountainous northwest of Catalonia, Spain. The name means "Upper Pallars", distinguishing it from the more populous (and less mountainous) Pallars Jussà to its southwest. Its capital and largest municipality is Sort.
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.

El 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 m).
Most of El 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 Natural Park Of High Pyrenees, the Natural Partial Reserve of La Noguera Pallaresa - Collegats, a wide range of areas belonging to the Xarxa Natura 2000, the Natural Hunting Reserve of Boumort, etc.

In the high mountains, on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees, near the French border. Pallars Sobirà is in the valley of the Noguera Pallaresa, the river which forms its north-south axis; the valleys of its upper reaches are flanked by towering peaks — Colomers (2,930 m), Saboredo (2,830 m), Mont-roig (2,846 m), Pic de Sotllo (3,073 m) or Pica d'Estats (3,143 m), the highest mountain in Catalonia— and dotted with lakes. The valleys of the upper reaches form three well-differentiated subdivisions of the territory: the Vall d’Àneu, through which the Noguera Pallaresa flows, with the centre at Esterri d'Àneu; the Vall de Cardós, drained by the Noguera de Cardós, with the centre at Ribera de Cardós; and the Vall Ferrera, drained by the Noguera Vallferrera, with the centre at Alins de Vallferrera. The southern sector revolves around Sort, the capital. It also includes the eastern sector of the Aigüestortes National Park with Sant Maurici lake, dominated by the unmistakable silhouette of Els Encantats. In the Middle Ages, Pallars Sobirà was part of the Pyrenean county of Pallars, which, in the 11th century, was divided into Pallars Sobirà and Pallars Jussà, a separation which has been maintained in the modern territorial division. Agriculture and exploitation of the woodland were complemented by exploitation of the iron mines of the Vall Ferrera (forges) and the salt deposits of Gerri. In modern times the hydroelectric industries have become firmly established. In recent decades, tourists have arrived, attracted by the beauty of the landscape, the walking and climbing, or the winter and adventure sports.
