LA MOLINA

La Molina is the leading mountain station in the Spanish State. There are records of people having skied here that date back to 1908. However, it was not until the winter of 1923 that La Molina became a meeting place for ski lovers.

Located in a privileged setting, surrounded by peaks over 2,500 meters high, La Molina is today a touristic centre where winter sports are still the main attraction. However, services are now available for families year-round, thanks to a wide array of recreational activities that, in winter and in summer, concentrate on sport, leisure and entertainment.

The station is ISO14001 Environment Certified and earned the “Q” as a Quality Tourist point of interest.

La Molina can be easily accessed by car, by regular bus line or by train.

MONTSERRAT RACK TRAIN AND CABLE CARS

One of the most attractive, safe and relaxing ways of accessing the mountain of Montserrat is by rack train.
During the 15 minutes that the journey lasts, one can enjoy spectacular views of the mountain and surrounding nature while travelling on public transport. The trip is more than 5 km long and it links the Ferrocarrils of the Generalitat de Catalunya station at Monistrol de Montserrat to the Monastery.
Once one has risen to the monastery area, there are still opportunities to go on excursions thanks to two cable cars:

Santa Cova Cable Car 

Located in the lower station of the Santa Cova Cable Car, very close to where -according to tradition- the Mother of God Montserrat was found. There is an exhibit on the cable cars, their history and evolution until the present time, and on the legendary origins of Santa Cova.

Sant Joan Cable Car 

At over 1,000 metres high, a view from the top of the Sant Joan cable car provides the best views of the mountain and the monastery. Once there, at the Nature Classroom, one can visit a space that explains the main features of the Montserrat ecosystem and the excursions that can be carried out.

THE LAKES TRAIN

The Tren dels Llacs (Lakes Train) is a new service designed for family tourism that consists of a trip on an historic train from Lleida to La Pobla de Segur.

This is the result of a joint venture of the FGC (Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya) and the Diputació (Provincial Council) of Lleida, with the cooperation of the Ministry of Innovation, Universities and Enterprise of the Generalitat de Catalonia and the town councils of the towns the line runs through. 

This is a daytime activity that has two particularly strong points: the journey on a historic train, and the landscape on the route between Lleida and La Pobla de Segur, along the banks of the Noguera Pallaresa River and its reservoirs. In addition, the regions of Segrià, Noguera and Pallars Jussà offer visitors a wide range of possibilities for both recreation and fine cuisine.
