The Montserrat cable car, inaugurated in 1930, has become the safest and fastest way of reaching Montserrat. With a run of 1,350 m and an average speed of 5 m/sec, it takes just five minutes to climb the mountain, overcoming slopes of up to 45%, and on its way offering the superb panorama including the famous monumental Rosary of the Virgin.
Montserrat is a mountain of singular beauty, situated right in the centre of Catalonia. The Sanctuary, in which pilgrims and the visitors can venerate a magnificent 12th-century sculpture of the Virgin Mary, together with the Escolania, today considered the oldest boys' school of music in Europe, and the Benedictine monastery, founded in the 11th century, are testimony to the religious and cultural reality of the Catalan people
