What To Expect
Take this exclusive flight in a hot air balloon close to the Montserrat Mountain and admire its unique needle-shaped formations, one of the most spectacular landscapes in Catalonia. The activity begins early in the morning, and we will head directly to the flying zone, where you will participate in the inflation of the balloon. Once it’s ready, we will take off for an amazing hour of flight close to the mountain and the surrounding area. At the end of the flight, a 4WD car will be waiting to pick you up and return to the flying zone, where your guide will be waiting for you to continue the tour. Before heading to the monastery, toast your flight in this magical land with a glass of cava. Continue your visit to the famous Benedictine Monastery by cable car, dating back nearly a thousand years and well-known for hosting the figure of “La Moreneta” (visit not guaranteed), the patron saint of Catalonia.
