Overview

Escape the crowds and experience Montserrat at its most peaceful. This early morning small group tour (max 8 people) is designed for those who want to enjoy the mountain in a calm, unhurried way — with time to truly take in its natural beauty and spiritual essence.

As you arrive, you’ll hear the gentle chirping of birds and breathe in the fresh mountain air, surrounded by lush green trees. Travel comfortably to Montserrat, just 50 km (30 mi) from Barcelona, and enjoy a relaxed visit to the famous Basilica. Then, walk among the stunning jagged peaks and admire panoramic views without the usual bustle.

This quiet start to the day lets you connect deeply with the landscape and the atmosphere — before most visitors arrive. You’ll return to Barcelona with the whole afternoon ahead of you to continue exploring at your own pace.

Abadia de Montserrat

2h
Admission ticket not included

We'll pick you up at 8:00 am in front of Olivia Plaza Hotel in Barcelona to arrive to Montserrat at early morning and avoid all the hussle and long queues. We'll head straight to Montserrat in semi-private and comfortable transport with a small group, approximately an hour drive away. On the way, you'll admire Montserrat mountains, while getting close, you will enjoy how roads become tighter and how greener and fresher it gets. Once at the top, your guide will take you on a walking tour through the monastery explaining the geological formation of the mountain and the history of the virgin (Black Madonna). We'll visit the Basilica where you can attend a mass and enjoy the beautiful interior design, and see the unique chapels accompanied by your guide. Please, note that we will reserve tickets for you, and we will collect the ticket price entrance upon tour check-in. Price: 6€

Montserrat Mountains

You will have free time to take a coffe in one of the Cafeterias or the Monserrat Restaurant or walk around the Basilica, to admire the marvellous view. Or you can just sit, relax and listen to birds chirps and remember how time passes by with the Basilica's chimes.

Montana de Montserrat

1h 30m

After charging batteries, we will head to Monserrat Sant Miquel's Cross. You'll take a little, pleasant and efortless trekking of 20 minutes passing by a liitle stone chapel and masterfully crafted saint's statues, to arrive to a beautiful observation deck, with a big Cross in the middle and appreciate all the beauty of the Monastery from a different perspective. Here you can take your best shots admiring the view from the Pyrenees to the Llobregat Delta.

Placa Catalunya

After a morning to relax and energise, you will go back to Barcelona in a comfortable transport to spend the rest of the day in one of its wonderful attractions.
