Montsant Inside
On foot between cliffs and hermitages in the most spiritual mountain
We will discover the steep mountain passes that go up to the range from every side, saving unevenness and impossible cliffs!
A route of calm stages and without technical difficulty, which will accompany us every day from the bottom to the top of the range, from their lodgings to their hermitages, and from the imposing cliffs to the mountain passes that dare to climb it. We will go up to the highest point of the mountain, the Roca Corbatera (1,163 m) and at each stage we will discover solitary corners of this quiet area, such as caves, gorges, singular trees, and exceptional viewpoints.
