At the entrance to Ivars de Noguera stands La Seroneta. La Seroneta is a monumental, sloping gypsum rock. The solitary rock combines its distinctive shape with its aptly named location right at the entrance to the village.

From Ivars de Noguera, the Santa Anna Reservoir is easily accessible. Santa Anna lies on the Noguera Ribagorçana River. The reservoir is considered one of the best regions for freshwater fishing.
