About

Aeri de Montserrat takes you on a spectacular 5‑minute aerial adventure over the breathtaking Montserrat mountain range, offering panoramic views that change with every glide. Since its inauguration in 1930, the cable car has become a symbol of sustainable and swift access to the famous Montserrat Abbey, blending historic charm with modern engineering. Riders can choose from a variety of ticket options—including simple up or down trips, combined day passes that include museum visits and buffet lunches, as well as special night rides for a starlit experience. The car’s 95‑year‑old infrastructure has been upgraded to meet contemporary safety standards while preserving its iconic design. A free parking lot is available at the lower station, and visitors can reach the stations by train (FGC from Barcelona’s Plaça Espanya) or car. Ticket sales are handled online via the official ticketing portal or at the on‑site ticket office. Beyond the ride itself, the Aeri opens the way to cultural highlights such as the Virgin’s Throne, the Montserrat museum, the Escolania choir concerts, and the monastery’s impressive art collection. For those looking to combine history, nature, and culinary delights, the Aeri’s bundled packages offer a convenient, all‑in‑one experience that makes a day at Montserrat both memorable and accessible.
