Archery on Horseback in the Cingles de Bertí

Context The Cingles de Bertí, located between the Montseny massif and the Catalan pre-coastal range, offer a protected natural environment featuring cliffs and Mediterranean woodlands. The 12.7 km route climbs 537 meters, making it ideal for those seeking a moderate-difficulty outdoor activity amid landscapes of oaks, pines, and junipers.

It is not recommended for those without prior horseback experience or for individuals with limited mobility unless prior consultation is made. ">Local context"> The Cingles de Bertí are part of a protected natural space where traditional horse trails coexist with landscape conservation and biodiversity preservation. The local community values these activities as a way to enjoy and respect the natural environment.
