Walking has been a tradition in Montseny from the end of the 20th century.

The extraordinary quality of its landscapes, the diversity of its plant life, and the spectacular seasonal colour changes, especially in the chestnut, oak and beech woods make Montseny an ideal place for walking routes. The information centres in the natural park help visitors to discover routes, points of interest and other useful facts to enjoy their stay here to the full. We recommend using the network of sign posted routes, some of which come with an information leaflet.

These routes begin at Fontmartina, Santa Fe, Sant Marçal, Collformic and the Collet de Sant Martí, and lead up to the most important peaks on the mountain range. The park is also crossed by two GR routes, with directions painted on the ground with red and white markings: the GR 5; which on its way across the Montseny goes from Campins to Aiguafreda, passing through Fontmartina, Montseny and the plain of El Pla de la Calma, and the GR 2 which goes through Seva, El Brull and Augafreda. To complement the possibilities of public walking routes the park has the Fontmartina campsite and an area for youth camping at Vallcàrquera with the additional offer of private camp sites, or other services such as organised guided route walks.

GRAN RECORREGUT (GR) PATHWAYS (GR 2, GR 5)
Two GR paths cross the park (the GR 5 and the GR 2) which are marked with their unmistakeable red and white signs (one horizontal coloured stripe above another). The GR 5 goes from Sitges to Blanes, passing through the Garraf, Montserrat, Sant Llorenç del Munt and l'Obac, Montseny and the Montnegre-Corredor, crossing the park lengthways along its southern half. This path is indicated by green boundary posts which are marked in red and white. The GR 2 connects La Jonquera to Aiguafreda, and passes through the northern part of the mountain range. Both routes meet at Aiguafreda.

SIGNPOSTED ROUTES
These are walking routes which are properly signposted and are usually circular, they cross different areas of the natural park. They are designed to show the visitor the rich natural and cultural heritage of the area. Some come with an informative leaflet which means you can follow a self-guided route. Ask for more details at the information centres.
