Montgròs, south face of Montserrat
Montgròs from Can Jorba
Montserrat is a magical mountain: the more you walk it, the more you want to come back. This circular route from Can Jorba explores the south face of the massif — passes, streams and corners most visitors never see.
What makes this route special
- Montgròs, one of the summits with the best views of the whole massif.
- The Ecos area, a spectacular and little-known corner.
- Pas de la Salamandra, a stretch with character of its own.
- Hidden caves and corners off the usual circuits.
- Flora and fauna: the mountain as a living environment.
- History, geology and legends that explain its magic.
Along the way we share context and stories about the land, and on the more demanding stretches —like Pas de la Salamandra— having company adds peace of mind and enjoyment.
