Program details
Discover the cradle of Catalan spirituality with this five-hour tour to the Holy Mountain of Montserrat, one of the most spectacular landscapes in all of Catalonia. With an unmatched natural environment and sense of spirituality, this majestic mountain will leave you awed.
As you approach the mountain, you will be instantly captivated by the dramatic craggy rock features of this sacred place. Ascending ever higher, you'll make your way nearly into the clouds where you'll get the opportunity to explore the holy sights atop the mountain.
Gaze at the enchanting beauty of it all as you visit the Montserrat Abbey, the Nave, and the new Sacristy, displaying extraordinary artistic murals. Admire the Moreneta Chapel and the sprawling courtyard, all surrounded by the splendour of the towering rocky structures. Listen to the lovely melodies sung by the famous Escolania of Montserrat, or the boys’ choir, before hopping on Sant Joan's rack railway.
Lifting you steeply to the Natural Park, even higher on the mountain, enjoy the dramatic ride before stepping off to one of the most impressive scenes you've ever laid eyes upon. From such a high vantage point, you can see a vast expanse of the world below. Get caught up in the spirit of the mountain as you take in the imposing nature of your surroundings, before descending out of the clouds and making your return trip.
A truly breathtaking and unrivalled display of nature's brilliance, coupled with its magical spirituality, Montserrat will leave a lasting impression on all your senses.
