Serra de Montgrony, Sierra de Montgrony Is a mountain ridgeline in the Parc Natural del Cadí Moixeró in the Ripollés region of the Pyrenees mountains. The Sierra de Montgrony runs from the towns of Ribes de Freser, Toses, Planoles and on to Alp via the La Molina Ski zone.
This 13km MEDIUM or MEDIUM-HARD walking route starts at Renfe Toses Railway station on the R3 Rodalies line and terminates at Planoles Renfe one stop nearer to Barcelona along the same R3 roadalies railway line.
This route provides spectacular views of the high pirineo mountain tops and ski resorts. A MEDIUM level of fitness is required. Also sturdy and grippy hiking boots are also required as the path down off the mountain is steep and in some places slippery.
The route passes via multiple viewpoints: Serrat de Paravent, hammer Stone monument Pedra picada, La Emperadora, Costa Pubilla, Tossal Meians and Tossal Meians bunker

Allow 7-9 hours to complete the route.
I recommend carrying 2-3 litres of water for these routes.
At Toses Renfe station you will find that the station building is now a small hostel (Hostal Estació Toses) with restaurant bar.
5 minutes walk from Planoles you will find the Planoles Xanascat Hostel and next to Planoles station is La Cantina de Planoles, a small restaurant.
Time management is required to ensure arrival at Planoles before the last train.
Note: In the summer there will be no snow on this route but in winter the summits may have snow. Normally between January and March there is Snow in the high (2000m) Pyrenees summits.
I pack for wind and rain when doing this hike because it is in the high Pyrenees mountains.
I recommend 2-3 litres of water because there is nowhere to top up water bottles along the route.
If doing this as a winter hike, I recommend crampons for added traction on any snow or ice.
