What To Expect

1. 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

2. 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

3. 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

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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. 1 hour

Montserrat Monastery is worth a visit!

Published on Aug, 2024

Carlos, our guide, made the outing so much fun and is one of the best guides I have ever had on a viator excursion! For an hour trip up the mountain he had all of us talking about ourselves, and was very engaging with each person so that this random group of 8 strangers felt a connection between us. He was informative about the history of the monastery, and gave us free time to go up the funicular, explore more of the monastery, shop, whatever we wanted to do. It was a really good way to spend an afternoon!

Great experience!

Javi is the best!!!! Javi is punctual, friendly, kind, and is willing to slightly modify the tour based on our preferences. The tour is interesting and you’ll see a lot of things. Every penny is worth it.

Great excursion to Montserrat!

Having a knowledgeable, friendly and professional tour guide made this excursion exceptional! Pablo was the best!

Great morning up on the mountain.

Published on Aug, 2024

We enjoyed our voyage up the mountain with our guide Javi. First of all he had to go out of his way to pick us up at our hotel location. He was clear with where to go and what we can do or can’t do. I never felt lost or confused. We had a meeting spot and time and he was spot on. He lead us in the basilica and pointed to where the black Madonna was. Monserrat has a mood to it; calming and beautiful.

Very good guide and enjoyable trip
