Audio Guide of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Queralt

You can drive up by road or use the Queralt Funicular (check seasonal schedules). The sanctuary is usually open all day, from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM in summer (until 5:00 PM in winter), but to confirm funicular operation, visit the Berga Tourism website.

Admission to the church and the sanctuary grounds is completely free. The only associated cost would be the funicular ticket if you decide to use it to access the site from the lower parking area or from Berga, and it is very affordable.

Set aside between an hour and a half and two hours. That is ideal for visiting the church, walking to 'The Cave' (where the Virgin was found), and enjoying the panoramic views from the lookout without rushing.

It is called that because, at 1,200 meters above sea level, it offers spectacular views over much of Catalonia. Its history dates back to the 14th century and revolves around the discovery of the image of Our Lady by a shepherd in a nearby cave.

Any clear day is perfect for enjoying the views, ideally early in the morning or at sunset. Avoid very foggy days, as you will miss the main visual attraction of the 'Balcony of Catalonia.'

The main access is manageable thanks to the funicular, and there are paved areas around the sanctuary and the restaurant. However, the specific path to the Holy Cave has steps and slopes, so it is not suitable for visitors with reduced mobility.

Take the opportunity to head down to Berga's old town and discover its history linked to La Patum. If you like nature, the Rasos de Peguera are very close by, and if you prefer industrial history, the Cercs Mining Museum is a must-see.

Always bring a jacket or windbreaker, even in summer, as the altitude makes it cooler and windier. If you want to enhance your experience, use our audio guide to understand the hidden symbolism of the temple as you explore it.
