Hike to the top of Montserrat mountain

Jamie is an incredible guide and really adjusts the hike to your pace. I would highly recommend booking this experience. We went from the base of the mountain to the top and at each stage it was more breathtaking. Be sure to bring good shoes and layer up. It was a full day once you factor in the train ride to and from (which he takes care of so you can just focus on what's important, the hike). Book it!

Better than you can ever imagine. Jaime was a wonderful and accommodating guide and one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. If you like hiking even a little bit, don’t think about booking this any longer, stop reading this review and BOOK IT NOW! You won’t regret it. The views are absolutely incredible and it will be an experience you never forget. This is the true way to experience Montserrat and it’s majestic surroundings.

Jamie is an amazing athlete who has a passion for nature and people! He is careful to ensure you hike at your own pace and keeps the group together. We had approx 7 hiker guests with similar levels of fitness. The climb to the monastery is steep in places with amazing views yet also some shade. It is a strenuous climb but definitely doable! ;-). It was an approx 50 minute train ride from BCN and we took approx 2.5 hrs to reach the monastery and then an add’l 1.5 hrs to the summit! It was a very warm day and there was an opportunity to purchase more water once you arrived at the monastery. Half the group took the funicular on the way down due to the heat and the other part of the group walked to the bottom! Jamie is a warm, generous person and provided us some fruit on the morning train ride and some chocolate treats near the top! We would recommend this hike to all fit people who love the outdoors with amazing views of spectacular mountains. There was time to peruse the monastery on the descent!
