Montgròs Peak (1,133 m)

Highlight • Summit

Huge hill, with an appearance similar to a large massif, located in the middle of the mountain of Montserrat. The top of the hill is very flat and large. As David Hita says, this peak invites rest and contemplation. Montgròs, due to its location and height, dominates practically the entire mountain. From the top the panorama is truly majestic. The normal ascent to the summit was made by a group of people in 1880 under the direction of Cèsar August Torras.

Agulles Vicenç Barbé Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located in the middle of the Montserrat region of Agulles, this is one of the two preserved facilities that the Federation has in the Montserrat massif. It is named after the climber Vicenç Barbé, who died in 1942 while climbing the Frares Encantats. Inaugurat el gener de 1961, la iniciativa de construir aquest refugi fou de la Delegació Catalana de la Federació Espanyola de Muntanyisme (l’actual FEEC). Hiking, equipped paths and above all climbing are the star activities that can be done from this refuge. Different tours around the Agulles region (through the Estret gate, through the Porc pass); the return to les Agulles, les Frares and Echos through the Migdia gate; the crossing to the Monastery on the GR 172; the PR-C 78 - which passes through the refuge-; and 900 classic and sport climbing routes that climb to the top of 160 rocks and needles are some of the arguments within reach of the mountaineer.

Services at the shelter:
- Wood stove
- Internet (with usage restrictions)
- Blankets
- Food and drinks
- toilet


Material in the absence of custody:
20 places 20 mattresses and wood stove.

La Portella Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Key step that, on the way up, allows us to enter the Agulles region, guarded by the Gran de la Portella rock on the right and the Petita rock on the left.
The stepped channel formed by the erosion allows us to progress without much difficulty, although we will have to use our hands, more for balance than for progression.
