Leave Barcelona before dawn with guide Albert in a seven-seat van, reach Montserrat before the crowds, visit the Abbey and Black Madonna, then choose from three forest hiking routes with dramatic mountain views. You return by 13:30, leaving your afternoon free.

“The best experience in my Barcelona stay! Communication beforehand was great, Albert made sure we had everything needed for the trip. He collected us on time, and the minibus van was unbelievably comfortable. The trip itself was incredible, a lot more walking/climbing than anticipated. But plenty of options to take an easier journey down if struggling. While the fog and clouds reduced visibility at the top, the overall view was breathtaking! Albert provided guidance on the history and culture of Monserrat which all formed part of an amazing learning process. I would recommend the trip to anyone considering booking, and would certainly book again.”

Other than that is a worth experience”

Leave Barcelona before sunrise with Albert of Barcelona Horizon Tours, visit Montserrat Abbey and the Black Madonna before the crowds, then hike 7.2 kilometers through the mountains. Expect steep sections, stairs, cool morning air, and a small-group pace that suits fit walkers.

“Early morning was awesome. Mountains are more beautiful near sunrise. We pretty much had the entire monastary complex to ourselves with no one to interrupt the photos. The hike to the top was in the cool of the morning which avoided the heat of noon and afternoon. The ride down on cable car empty becuase the crowds were only just arriving. There are only positives to going early if you can get ready by 600 to 630am. Alberto was lovely and knowledgeable. He provided lots of communication and background info on whatsapp prior the trip. You have to be relatively fit to climb to the top. There are some gravelly…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 69 reviews · 9 hours · from $102

Pair Montserrat’s monastery and scenic St Michael’s cross hike with a guided walk through seaside Sitges. A certified English, Spanish, or Catalan-speaking guide leads this small-group day in an air-conditioned van, with entry fees included and lunch on your own.

“Our guide, David, was excellent. We were staying in Sitges, so caught early AM train and met tour in Barcelona. It was a big day both time and £ but worth it, as otherwise wouldn't have seen Montserrat. David was very knowledgeable and informative. He 'read' our family well and could judge the speed we wanted to move at. The hike is a bit hilly at times and obviously it can be a hot in the sun but worth the walk. Luckily, it was only us on the Sitges/Monseratt tour. Van was comfortable and air-conditioned. Highly recommend Mont Escape Tours.”
