Montalt, Mountain summit in Sant Vicenç de Montalt, Catalonia.
Description
Montalt is a 597-meter (1,958 foot) peak spanning three municipalities: Sant Vicenç de Montalt, Dosrius, and Sant Andreu de Llavaneres in Catalonia's Maresme region near the Mediterranean coast. The summit offers views across the surrounding hills and toward the sea, with multiple walking trails of varying difficulty reaching the top.
History
This mountain formed millions of years ago when magma crystallized slowly beneath the Earth's surface, creating its granodiorite composition. This geological foundation has shaped the landscape of the Maresme region over countless millennia.
Culture
Montalt holds a distinguished position in the Liste des 100 sommets de la FEEC, representing significant peaks throughout the Catalonian region.
Practical
Several marked walking trails of varying length and difficulty lead up from the surrounding towns to the summit. Best visited in clear weather to enjoy the views and safely navigate the pathways.
Did you know?
