THE BIGGEST METROPOLITAN
PARK IN THE COUNTRY

The great natural treasure of Sant Cugat is Collserola, a vast park with endless possibilities to enjoy nature and a healthy life. A paradise for walkers, cyclists, runners and horse riders. With over 8,000 hectares, it is considered the biggest metropolitan park in the country.
Sant Cugat is the city with the largest area included in the Serra de Collserola Natural Park, with 44%. It covers two partial natural reserves: the Font Groga and the Rierada-Can Balasc. The Park is a protected area and forms part of the Plan for Spaces of Natural Interest (PEIN) and the European network of natural areas Natura 2000.

Remember that it is a fragile ecosystem, with regulations that must be respected.
