Description

The route: 800 m, 200 m of elevation and an underground section

The Tossal de les Venes via ferrata is located at Rojalons, within the municipality of Montblanc (Conca de Barberà, Tarragona). The route covers 800 metres with 200 metres of elevation gain and offers two options that share the same start but diverge at the most distinctive section: the underground passage. The K2 option follows the exterior face of the rock, while the K4 option enters the inside of the mountain through chasms and crevices, in a completely dark environment lit only by the headlamp included with the equipment. This section is what makes the route unique in Spain. The approach from the meeting point takes 20 minutes and the descent 30 minutes.

Level K2 or K4: two activities in one

The K2 option is accessible for people with some level of fitness or limited prior via ferrata experience. Minimum age 12. The K4 option, including the underground section, adds potential claustrophobia and greater technical demands — it is suited to those who already have via ferrata experience and want a different kind of adventure. Both options are guided throughout by a certified mountain guide. Not suitable for people with claustrophobia, as the K4 underground section is confined and dark.

Practical information

The headlamp is included in the equipment for the underground section. Layered clothing is recommended: the exterior can be warm in spring and summer, but the inside of the mountain maintains a constant cool temperature. Bring 1.5 litres of water. Access is by car (rural area without public transport). Montblanc, a few minutes from Rojalons, is one of the best-preserved medieval walled towns in Catalonia and combines perfectly with the activity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers about Via Ferrata Tossal de les Venes, Montblanc

The underground section of the K4 option involves progressing through natural chasms and crevices inside the rock, in a dark and narrow space. You use the same harness and via ferrata kit as on the exterior, but with the headlamp on to see the anchors and the route ahead. It is a combination of caving and via ferrata that exists nowhere else in Spain.
The K4 option with the underground section is NOT suitable for people with claustrophobia. The space is confined, dark and narrow at several points. If you are claustrophobic, the K2 exterior option is a perfectly valid and enjoyable alternative with no underground sections.
Yes. The K2 option is accessible for people with active fitness levels and a minimum age of 12, with no prior experience required. The K4 option adds the confined underground section and more exposed passages: prior via ferrata experience is required, as is an absence of claustrophobia. The guide will help you decide which option is best for your group at the start of the activity.
The headlamp is included in the equipment provided for all participants doing the K4 option with the underground section. You do not need to bring your own, although you are welcome to if you have one.
Absolutely. Montblanc is one of the best-preserved medieval walled towns in Catalonia, with a largely intact 14th-century wall, a Gothic cathedral and a very lively historic centre. It is just a few minutes from Rojalons by car — a great way to round off the day after the via ferrata.
