Hiking in Barcelona
Weekend adventures in the mountains around Barcelona
About Hiking with Keep Calm Community
Escape the city and explore Catalonia's stunning trails with Keep Calm's hiking group. Organized by Jan, our monthly hikes take you through mountain paths, coastal trails, and natural parks — all within easy reach of Barcelona by public transport.
Hikes are typically full-day Sunday excursions, covering 10–20 km with 300–800 m of elevation over 4–6 hours. The group meets at central Barcelona locations like Arc de Triomf or Plaça Espanya, and routes are planned using Komoot. With a capacity of 25–30 hikers per trip, it's a great way to meet English-speaking expats and internationals who love the outdoors.
One of the best traditions is the shared lunch — everyone brings something to share at the summit or a scenic lookout point. It's a wonderful way to connect with people while enjoying Catalonia's incredible landscapes.
