Abadia de Montserrat

Join this exciting and rewarding hike around the iconic Montserrat mountain. After arriving at the Benedictine monastery from the 11th century we will explore some beautiful encounters of this Natural Park. Your professional mountain leader will provide several hiking options to suit everyone's appetite. However, all participants should expect to spend around 3 hours of walking/hiking in the mountain terrain with plenty of breaks. Decent physical fitness and comfortable walking/hiking shoes are required for the best possible experience. While exploring the magical conglomerate formations and small trails winding through dense boxwood vegetation, we will chat about Catalan culture, the history of this place, and countless exciting topics from this region. As we progress deeper into the mountain we might bump into the 'Alpine Ibex', a wild mountain goat, and spot some birds of prey.
