Where it is
Montseny – Turó de l'Home is the highest peak of Catalonia's Pre-Serralada Litoral at 1,712 m, close to Barcelona and inside a park protected since 1928. Traditionally a hang-gliding zone, modern paragliders (glide ratio around 6:1) can now enjoy it too, though better alternatives usually exist. Spanish pilots prefer the winter season here — summer brings heavy wind and rocky thermals.
Launch & conditions
Two launches at 1,700 m and 1,400 m, orientations SW and S. Low glide ratio (5.5). Off/flight/landing: launch progressive and easy, comprehensive and grass. Thermal and dynamic flight all along the ridge, then a 7 km long glide (power line halfway). Favourable in loose S-component wind and breezes.
Getting there & local rules
Paved road with an intermediate track section, in good condition. Landing: preferred at Mosqueroles fields with some alternatives — because there's a lot of forest around, scout the 3 landing sites first before takeoff.
Check conditions before you fly
A forecast for the valley is not a forecast for the launch. Before heading to Montseny – Turó de l Home, read the wind and thermals for the site itself, confirm the day's rules with the local club, and remember the standing rule — when in doubt, don't launch. In the free OutDare app you can open Montseny – Turó de l Home with a 7-day forecast built from high-resolution weather models, see who else has been flying, and get there with offline maps.
