The Beating Heart of Wine

This circular route is an interesting proposal for experienced walkers, although, we also recommend you do it over two days. For those who are looking for a shorter route, the Falset to Gratallops path is a good alternative which takes around 3 hours.

This route is sponsored by the winery Clos Figueras in Gratallops

Ways of miners and farmers

These trails are an invitation to people to walk the villages, which are so close to the county of Ribera d’Ebre. Here, the Siurana River is on its way to join the larger, Ebre River, where vineyards and olive groves have shared the stage with lead mines and galena for centuries.

The Soul of Montsant

This is a very easy route, apt for all walkers and ideal for children. It takes us to one of the most emblematic and fascinating corners of the Montsant mountain range and Priorat region.

This route is sponsored by the inn and restaurant Fonda Toldrà in Ulldemolins

Paths of armies and hermits

Recommendations:

The Llisera trail is geologically fascinating. The Montsant massif is a towering presence. There are some slightly aerial sections. This is not a dangerous path, but you have to take care, especially if you are with children. You are recommended to avoid the hottest times of day in summer.

Carthusian Trail

La Ruta dels Cartoixans és una proposta de senderisme que travessa el Parc des d’Albarca a Cabacés, on es podran visitar diversos punts d’interès en què cal destacar la Cartoixa d’Escaladei. La ruta planeja suau per les cotes 600/700, travessa alzinars i vinyes al peu dels cingles de la serra Major, voreja masos antics i encara conserva els empedrats, testimoni dels antics usos com a camí de bast.

The beauty of bare places

Recommendations:

The rocky Grau dels Tres Esglaons route is very well equipped with metal rungs, but can be rather exposed for people with vertigo. In this case, or if you have children with you, it is better to go up and down by the Grau del Tomaset, also known as the Grau de Montsant, the path traditionally used by the people of Cornudella to get up to the Serra Major, the main ridge of the Montsant massif. You should fill your tater bottles at the chapel.

Margalef Landscapes - Barranc de Sant Salvador

This route follows the Barranc de Sant Salvador (a barranc is a more or less seasonal watercourse) and shows you the way the land is used and exploited at this end of the Montsant massif. You'll see a landscape shaped by spectacular espones (the local name for drystone retaining walls) and terraces largely used in the past for olive and almond trees. Today's route takes in places that tell of how the people of Margalef lived, like the Mas del Morerar, the Ximet cave or the different structures to manage water, all adapted to the terrain.
