The Park, which has an area of 2117 hectares and is located between Dénia and Xàbia, is home to more than 650 SPECIES OF FLORA AND VEGETATION. As for the FAUNA present in the Natural Park, this is intimately linked to these landscape units and to the plant communities that develop in them.
The Dénia Tourist Office is a COLLABORATING INFORMATION POINT (PIC) of the Montgó Natural Park. This means that we offer quality and truthful information regarding the characteristics of the Natural Park, itineraries and activities that take place in it. The PIC is the result of close collaboration between the Ministry of Infrastructure, Territory and Environment and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport with the aim of providing the highest quality in visitor care in the Natural Parks of Valencia Region.
RISKS PREVENTION IN THE MOUNTAINS
We must prevent unnecessary risks or hazardous situations for ourselves and our companions during what should only be a pleasant stroll in the mountains.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Wear comfortable footwear suitable for hiking, since the terrain is rocky.
Carry lots of water, since there are no fountains. We recommend 1.5 litres per person.
Protect yourself from sunshine with a cap, sunglasses and sunscreen. Shade is scarce in the majority of the routes.
The routes in Montgó have different difficulty levels: select the appropriate itinerary for your physical conditions, based on available time, distance, level difference, etc.
In the linear routes, the distance and estimated time are ONLY ONE-WAY. If we return to the starting point, the distance is double and likewise, the duration. We can then properly estimate the time required to hike the route and the return.
Route 5 and 6 have the highest difficulty level since they are the longest routes with the biggest level differences. They are solely recommended for persons accustomed to mountain hikes.
Avoid the ascent of Montgó when there is risk of storm, fog or extreme temperatures. There are no refuge locations.
