Itinerary description

This is a medium-hard level 17km circular walking route from Collbató town to Sant Jeroni de Montserrat, The highest point in the Montserrat mountain range. The route does not pass via the Montserrat monastery but does offer great views of the Monastery complex from a mountain path.

The bus accessible circular route passes through the town of Collbató and heads into the grape vine fields before starting to climb the lower slopes of Montserrat mountain passing via the hermitages of Sant Joan, Sant Onofre, Sant Antonio and Sant Jeroni. The route is physically challenging on the uphill climb.

Finally the last section up to the summit is via concrete stars. This walk has multiple viewpoints along the way overlooking the Llobregat valley and Montserrat mountain range.

On the way down from Sant Jeroni the route passes via La Vinyanova Restaurant which is a converted rural farmhouse and has amazing food. This is an ideal place for a february or March Calçotada lunch.

Allow 7 to 9 hours to complete this walk.

For bus route maps and ticket information, tips for where to eat and calçotada lunch, visit the Barcelona Travel Hacks website.

The Colbató to Sant Jeroni hiking route is part of the Montserrat Day Trip hiking collection.
