What To Expect

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.

This day in Montserrat accompanied by Stephan was memorable. This gave a different color to my stay in Barcelona, a beautiful moment of breathing, beautiful views and a very beautiful discovery of the surroundings of the Monastery. Stephan is an attentive guide who adapts to the needs of visitors and knows the area well. He is also very interested in the overall situation in the region and the country. This allows for very interesting exchanges on economic, political and social issues. Which I really appreciate when I visit a place. Thank you to him for this day

We had a fantastic day with Stepan on Montserrat. He picked us up at 8:30 for the one hour drive in a very comfortable van and made sure we were all feeling well. We hiked for about 2hr 30 min. The beginning is challenging but then it gets easier. Stepan was careful to note how we were feeling and never pushed us too hard. He always explained what would be coming next and gave us options. Very attuned to our children and a really pleasant guide who was well informed and educated us on the history of the mountain and monastery. This is a great active day to get out of Barcelona and the photos were excellent. Thank you Stepan

We had a fantastic day with Stepan. As it was the Easter weekend, Stepan suggested we leave 30 minutes early to secure a parking space, and thank goodness we did. Stepan is very knowledgeable and considerate of everyone in our party and their walking abilities, and we all loved ending the day at the Farmer's Market. This day exceeded our expectations in every regard. Thank you!
Best day at Monserrat!

Set up this tour for my family of 7 (adults) to see Monserrat Monastery plus hike. Stepan picked us up in Barcelona comfortably in van and up we went. Beautiful day, great commentary, funicular ride to top, hike and views spectacular with every question answered! Hiked down to Monastery in time to see the Black Madonna and church, then a great surprise cheese tasting from a local farmer stand at the monastery, and ended with a late luncheon at local restaurant! Great day! This was my 2nd outing with Stepan and World Adventour! Two of the best tours ever! Thanks! Stepan! Hope to see you again!

Absolutely perfect tour. Stepan was an outstanding guide; he had so much passion for the history of Catalonia and Montserrat, and was eager to share travel tips even beyond the tour. They were also very courteous for the pace we wanted to climb the mountain, as we are not in shape LOL. My girlfriend and I had an excellent time and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona. Thanks again for an unforgettable day!
Stunning place
