Pasarelas de Montfalcó

Route from the Montfalcó walkways to the suspension bridge, in the surroundings of the Congost de Mont-rebei. A trail featuring wooden stairs and walkways over the gorge, with stunning views of the Canelles reservoir 

Montfalcó Walkways and suspension bridge route 

The route is located in the Montsec area, within the Congost de Mont-rebei, a spectacular gorge that forms the natural border between Aragon and Catalonia, next to the Canelles reservoir.

Vehicle access ends at the Montfalcó parking area, where the hiking route begins. From this point onwards there is no further track: the trail starts directly from the parking area.

Start of the trail

The path begins gradually, with a well-marked trail that crosses low woodland and mountain terrain. It is an easy start that allows you to ease into the surroundings without technical difficulty.

Little by little, the landscape becomes more rugged, with more exposed rock and steeper slopes, until reaching the key point of the route.

Wooden walkways and ladders.

The Montfalcó walkways are the most characteristic and well-known feature of the hike.

They consist of wooden structures anchored directly into the rock, allowing progress through vertical sections where a natural path is not possible.

The route includes:

• Steep wooden ladders 

• Suspended walkways over the ravine

• Narrow sections along the rock face

• Open views of the Congost de Mont-rebei and the Canelles reservoir.

It is a very scenic experience with a constant sense of height, but it is currently well maintained and clearly signposted. 

Surroundings

The landscape combines rock walls, low woodland areas, and wide views over the reservoir. It is a high-mountain environment, with a strong contrast between water, rock, and vegetation. 

Suspension bridge

At the end of the route, you reach the suspension bridge over the ravine, a very photogenic spot and one of the usual turning points of the hike.

From here you can:

• Return along the same route. 

• Or continue deeper into the Congost de Mont-rebei on a longer and more demanding route. 

Recommended detours

There are two interesting variations along the route: 

Santa Quiteria Hermitage

A short detour with open views of the surroundings. A peaceful spot to take a break. 

San Bonifacio Hermitage

A short and easy access in a more remote mountain setting.

Current status of the route

The walkways have been renovated and are in good condition. It is a very popular route and well signposted, especially during peak season

Recommendations

• Not suitable for people with vertigo

• Hiking footwear required

• Bring enough water for the entire route

• Avoid rainy or humid days

• Exercise caution on ladders and exposed sections

• In summer, start the hike early in the morning
