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.
We can also offer you this trekking program in the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park, in the Pyrenees. Check it out!

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

Ricard was amazing. It was everything I hoped for in my first hike. He picked a route that was perfect for my fitness level. I felt challenged but accomplished by the end of the 6.5 hour hike. I felt like Ricard and I were friends by the end of it. He was knowledgeable about the history of Montserrat and made sure to educate me about the trees, plants and the different mountain peaks during our adventure. I felt safe around Ricard and knew I was in great hands. He’s a wonderful human and truly made this experience rememberable.
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
