Montserrat

  • Coordinates 41°36′ N · 1°49′ E
  • Highest point Sant Jeroni · 1,236 m
  • Natural Park Since 1987
  • Rock Conglomerate

A conglomerate massif shaped by water and wind, full of gullies, pinnacles and hermitages clinging to the rock, where hermits lived for centuries. On foot, and with people who know it, it makes sense in a different way.

The hermits’ Montserrat

A day through the hermitages of Sant Joan and Sant Onofre, past Sant Miquel, down Jacob’s Ladder to Santa Anna and back to the monastery. It is a route with steady ascents and descents, with sections of steps and rock stairs.

Along the way we tell you who the hermits were, why they chose these spots and how this rock, which looks like pebbles glued together, was formed.

We check the forecast that same morning. If it isn’t safe, we switch to an alternative route or postpone the hike.

Can I come on my own?

Yes. Many people join on their own, and groups are small.
