Description

The Montserrat multi-peak range in Catalonia, Spain is a beautiful collection of peaks that is amazing no matter how many times you see it.

And on this day trip, we are offering a variety of trail running tours that will allow you to see Montserrat from countless perspectives. The tours are available in all levels. So if you are a trail running beginner or expert, there will be a great tour for you!

As the tours shift in difficulty level, they also shift in time, from 1 hour to 5 hours, distance, from 12 kilometres to 27 kilometres, and elevation, from 300 metres to 2300 metres. However, regardless of which tour you choose, you will most certainly have an unforgettable experience.

And regardless of which option you choose, there are a number of amazing highlights you will get to see. For example, on the easy tour, where we will not leave the mountain’s base, you will get to see the Cova de la Arcada, the Torrent del Clot del Tambor, along with olive crops and farmhouses. Meanwhile, for the intermediate tour, you will get to see the Cami de les Batalles, the Iglesia of St. Pau Vell, Portella and much more. And finally, on the advanced tour, you will visit the top of St. Jeroni, as well as the coves of Montserrat.

Trail running around Montserrat is a wonderful way to spend a day. And because we offer trips for every level, anybody can enjoy this experience. So send us a request, put on your running shoes, and explore one of the best parts of Catalonia!

We also offer a rock climbing day trip at Montserrat as well.

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

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.

Cami

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.
