Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit from Can Ruti, Tiana, and Sant Fost de Campsentelles, each offering different elevation gains and distances suited to various fitness levels. The accessible terrain makes it a good choice for half-day excursions or longer mountain walks.
On clear days, the peak offers views reaching toward the Pyrenees, Montseny mountains, coastal ranges, and the Barcelona plain stretching to the Mediterranean. Occasionally, visitors report spotting Mallorca island rising on the distant horizon.
