Description

I invite you to explore a fantastic natural area while you learn about the culture and history of Montserrat. Come with me on this half-day program through the chapels of Tebes.

Our program takes place in Montserrat, a beautiful mountain with many peaks in the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range. Here, we’ll find the chapels of Sant Joan, Sant Onofre and Santa Magdalena. The route that goes across these amazing hermitages is a very interesting point regarding culture as well as a dazzling natural area.

First of all, we’ll meet in the Sant Joan Funicular upper station, situated near Barcelona. On our way, we’ll tell you about the history of the hermits and their relationship with the area. While hiking, we’ll be able to contemplate Montserrat and its surroundings. During the program, you’ll learn about the origin of the names, the Mediterranean forest, geology, the local flora and constructions, among many other interesting topics.

As you can see, this program offers you the chance to combine nature with culture and learn a lot from the area’s history in a short and easy hike. For this trek, it’s not necessary to have any prior hiking experience. Actually, the program is open for children above 8 years old.

So, does this program sound exciting? Don’t hesitate to send the request and make your reservation to this fantastic experience in Montserrat.

Mountain Guide

Right in the heart of Catalonia, well connected with Barcelona, stands the Montserrat massif; a mountain with big natural, cultural and spiritual significance that rises sharply to 1,236 meters from the top of St. Jeroni.

I organize guided activities and courses of all levels, and offer the possibility to discover this fantastic mountain accompanied by a professional certified guide.

Along with all these activities in Montserrat, I can guide you over all the natural sites of Catalonia and the Pyrenees, a region with a wide range of possibilities for trekkers, hikers, climbers, etc.

I promote the use of sustainable transportation (train, zipper, funicular) and the development of activities that stimulate in participants a feeling of belonging to the places he or she visits. This perception of belonging, as we work with feelings and perceptions, can perfectly be assimilated to a sense of spirituality.

Our main activities are:
Spiritual values of Nature for private, groups or companies
Rock climbing
Hiking
Via Ferrata

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
