Overview

Hike around Collsacabra cliffs, one of the most  breathtaking landscapes of Catalonia and visit the medieval town of Rupit on this unique full-day excursion from Barcelona.

We will start hiking from Rupit around its impressive cliffs and forests, from where you will enjoy breathtaking views of Collsacabra mountain range and all the surrounding area. After this pleasant hike we will come back to Rupit, where you will have some free time to have lunch (not included, but we can book a traditional local restaurant for you). Before coming back to Barcelona we will have a guided tour around this beautiful medieval town, one of Catalunya hidden gems, .

After about one and a half hour pleasant drive on a AC Minivan, we will reach Rupit, one of Catalunya hidden gems from where we will start hiking. Our path goes across beautiful forests, and hanging across Collsacabra cliffs, a natural balcony with breathtaking views of Susqueda reservoir and surrounding areas. On our way we will see the famous Salt de Sallent, the highest waterfall in catalonia of about 115 meters. If we are lucky we will spot the impressive eagles flying very close to us!

After about 3 hour pleasant hike we will come back to Rupit, a XVI century medieval town where we will go straight to our selected traditional local restaurant to enjoy a well deserved 3 course meal.

In the afternoon we will enjoy a guided tour through the cobbled streets, of the well preserved medieval town of Rupit. Finally we will have some free time before coming back to Barcelona.

This hike is a MUST. Rupit is very quaint village that sits next to absolutely beautiful views. The quality of the environment and stunning imagery is beyond imagination. The value you get in terms of scenery for your hiking effort is really unmatched. There is a little steep part for the last couple hundred meter but the majority of the trail is a very easy walk. Ramon is a fantastic and very experienced guide. Was able to answer all our questions and provide great information about the areas history. Mechanics of the trip were well handled, a prompt pick up at the designated location with bottled water provided prior to departing for the hike. A quick stop at Rupits bakery/cafe for a quick blast of energy and off you go. We did run into some heavy rain on the back half of the trip and the drive back to Barcelona. Ramon is a safe driver though and got us through the storm.

Our day to Rupit was relaxed and wonderful. There were only 2 of us on this tour with our guide Ramon. I was messaged the night before the hike to be prepared for the potential rain - this was not an issue for us. The drive was smooth and punctual, Ramon is great to speak with and is very laid back. The historical town is quaint and beautiful, we had coffee and pastries at a local bakery which was a great start! The surrounding area is stunning. Ramon was very considerate of our hiking pace and we never felt rushed at all. The views are really really beautiful. We had lunch as a group at one of the local restaurants which was a great experience for food and conversation. Our stroll through town was met with some rain but this just added to the atmosphere and enchantment of Rupit. We are really thankful for our experience and wish Ramon all the best!
