Looking for an alternative to the usual mountain destinations? In the Pirineus Barcelona area, you can follow in the footsteps of the Cathars along the Camí dels Bons Homes (Path of the Good Men), a trans-Pyrenean route stretching from the Sanctuary of Queralt, in Berga, to the Château de Montségur, in the Ariège department in Southern France. This route is now a Long-Distance Path (GR-107) and is suitable for hikers, equestrians and —in most sections— mountain bikers. It’s a truly unforgettable experience, however you choose to travel it!

Do you love adventure sports and have no fear of heights? In the regions of Barcelona, many places await you, where you can burn off your adrenaline! Dizzying vertical walls, steep rock faces, spectacular waterfalls and sculpted ravines of calcareous rock make up landscapes ideal for enjoying nature and intense experiences. Are you ready to actively explore the geological quirks of these areas?

A good place to enjoy the rich landscape of the regions of Barcelona is from the basket of a hot air balloon. From the air, the beauty of the fields and mountains seems to be magnified, and the freedom of flying like a bird will make you feel very intense emotions that will be imprinted in your memory forever. Make the dream of Leonardo da Vinci come true and dare to travel the roads of the sky!

Do you like clean fresh air, unspoiled landscapes and exploring mountains and valleys along quiet trails? If you do, you will love the natural parks of the regions of Barcelona! Over a hundred thousand protected hectares have a lot to offer… So pick your destination and prepare your luggage. Peaceful rural tourism in contact with nature is awaiting you very close by.

Montserrat mountain is one of the cultural, spiritual and religious symbols of Catalonia – a place where people go to see the shrine of the Black Madonna and the children of the choir singing the Virolai hymn. But Montserrat is also a natural park with its own personality: provided by the dozens of rounded needles that characterise its line of summits.

Switch off from work. Get out of your chair. Put your smartphone away … Look! Just a stone’s throw away from Barcelona, there are a host of natural areas where you can enjoy nature. Among iconic mountains, pine and holm oak forests, peaks overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and quiet valleys, you’re sure to find an inviting setting that will have you reaching for your walking boots and backpack. Welcome to hiker’s paradise!
