Itinerary

  • Montana de Montserrat

    The Rocky Massif of Montserrat has been declared as Natural Park in 1987, and characterised by the rounded shape of its peaks. This incredible 4000-foot wonder is easily recognizable by its ''serrated'' top from which it got his name. Once you reach the monastery, you have plenty of options and your guide will always adjust to your interests. We invite you to take an easy walk of around 30 min to enjoy one of the most astonishing views of the natural park, but if you wish you can also decide to enjoy other activities that the mountain offers.

    30 minutes

  • Abadia de Montserrat

    Visit the Basilica of Montserrat, house of the serene image of the Virgin of Montserrat, the patron saint of Catalonia, a poly chrome Romanesque carving dating from the 12th century. The legend says that in the year 880 some shepherd boys found a statue of the black madonna, the "Moreneta", in a grotto. A chapel was built on this site that soon became a place of pilgrimage.

    30 minutes

  • Funicular de Sant Joan

    Decide with your small group of 8 pax if you want to enjoy a ride in the rack railway that will bring you at the top of the holy mountain. Enjoy astonishing views along the way.

    15 minutes

  • Sant Jeroni

    Reach the peak of the holy mountain to enjoy a bird's eye view of the entire Montserrat Monastery and of the natural park. On clear days, you will enjoy uninterrupted views of the whole of Catalunya.

    30 minutes

  • Aeri de Montserrat

    If you skipped the funicular, you can enjoy the cable car, a breathtaking journey over the Llobregat River and Valley, up the mountain and right up to Montserrat Monastery. The cable car first started running in 1930. It travels at a speed of 5 metres per second and at a gradient of up to 45%. This is a trip that is not for the faint heart - you will be travelling 1350 metres up the mountain in a small hanging car! However, if you are not afraid of heights, you will be in for a really memorable and rewarding experience.

    15 minutes

  • Montserrat Museum

    If you wish, you can also decide to visit the Montserrat museum. It has an important section of early paintings, spanning the 13th to the 18th centuries, with works by El Greco, Caravaggio as well as a large collection of Catalan paintings from the 19th and 20th centuries that includes major names such as Fortuny, Rusiñol, Casas, Picasso and Dalí but also of French impressionism such as Chagall, Braque, Le Corbusier, Miró, Dalí and Picasso.

PERFECT!

Absolutely perfect small group tour! Hotel pick up and drop off with great communication. Our guide, Javi, was kind, knowledgeable and hysterical. Shared with us great knowledge of the history, culture and people. Can’t recommend this highly enough!

Best time ever at...

Published on Jan, 2025

Best time ever at Montserrat. I would not miss this tour and would suggest to spend a full day there. There are a lot to do within the location, especially if you enjoy outdoor.

A Memorable Montserrat Experience

Published on Jan, 2025

I had the pleasure of having Javi as our guide during the visit to Montserrat Monastery, and it was an unforgettable experience. Javi's knowledge of the monastery's history and culture was impressive, and he shared it in such an engaging and entertaining way. His sense of humor added a wonderful touch to the tour, keeping everyone in high spirits and fully engaged throughout.

Great excursion

It’s cold up in the mountains at that altitude. Dress accordingly. Alex was fantastic. The views were amazing and he’s very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this trip.
