Hike Montserrat instead of the cable car?oh yes you definitely should - Please give yourself the gift of this beautiful experience. Chris guided our group of mixed experience hikers perfectly through the church of the Black Madonna & then up into the magical forest hills above. Chris provides insightful information about the church and natural environment surrounding you as you navigate the trails Absolutely stunning views along the way The pace is reasonable so even inexperienced hikers are able to do this experience. Don’t forget to refuel with the soft cheese and honey at the farmers market afterwards 👍😜Make a special travel memory that you won’t regret

Our guide, Christian, was... - Our guide, Christian, was very knowledgeable about the monastery, history and the natural environment we hiked through. He was also well acquainted with other guides and even one of the Monserrat archeologists and was able to provide us very new information/discovery about an archaeological site we saw on our hike. I am over sixty and an occasional mountain hiker so this hike (900 ft elevation rise) did challenge me, but I was able to complete it and the pace was helpful in that regard. Views made the hard work very worth it!

Hello from USA - The views were spectacular and our guide was wonderful. The off beaten trails are a bit steep so do wear sneakers with heavy grip or hiking shoes. Also remember lunch! Would definitely go ahead and you will definitely have room for dessert after this day trip!

Great Day in Monserrat - This was an amazing tour. The hike was magnificent and accessible. Our guide Chris was excellent and engaging. Pickup and drop off was seamless and when my daughter left a backpack behind the Catalan Trails group made every effort to get it to our hotel. Recommended 100 per cent

A fine day at Montserrat - We had the perfect day to explore the monastery and the trails throughout Montserrat. Our guide Ramon was not only well versed in the mountain trails, but also all things related to history, geology and culture related to Montserrat and Catalonia.

Beautiful Hike and Fascinating History - If you enjoy hiking, history, geology, and appreciate local wisdom, I strongly recommend this excursion. Our guide, Christian, was fantastic. He summarized a complex millenium of history and had plenty to share about the geography and ecology we saw along the trail. Thank you for a fun and educational experience!
