Summer stay in Bergueda: cool holidays at La Tor de Montclar

While the cities swelter, the Bergueda offers pleasant temperatures, a swimming pool, nature and a host of outdoor activities. La Tor de Montclar, at 900 metres above sea level, is the ideal summer refuge for families and groups looking for coolness and fun.

The altitude advantage: a cool summer in the Bergueda

At 900 metres above sea level, Montclar enjoys summer temperatures that rarely exceed 30 degrees Celsius during the day, with cool nights that let you sleep with the window open. While Barcelona and Lleida record stifling figures, the thermometer here stays comfortable.

The farmhouse, with its thick stone walls, maintains a natural coolness indoors that makes air conditioning unnecessary. And when you want to cool off, the outdoor pool with views of the Pyrenees is the best remedy.

Essential summer activities

Natural pools and rivers: The Bastareny river and its natural pools offer crystal-clear swimming spots just minutes from the farmhouse.
Pedraforca summit hike: Summer is the ideal time to climb the most emblematic peak of the Pre-Pyrenees (2,506 m). Routes from Gosol or Saldes.
La Patum de Berga: If you visit during Corpus Christi (May-June), do not miss this UNESCO World Heritage festival.
Rafting and adventure sports: At the Olympic Park of the Segre (La Seu d'Urgell), about an hour away, you can try rafting, kayaking and hydrospeed.
Mountain biking: The Bergueda's network of forest tracks is perfect for off-road cycling.

Barbecues and summer evenings

Summer at La Tor de Montclar is lived outdoors. The barbecue with garden dining area is perfect for long suppers with friends or family. Summer nights in the Bergueda are cool and starlit -- a telescope or simply lying on the grass gazing at the sky is an activity in itself.

For children, the spacious garden and games room with table football and ping-pong guarantee hours of entertainment. The outdoor pool is, without doubt, the star of summer at the farmhouse.
