Olot is the largest village in the Parc Natural de la Zona Volcanica de la Garrotxa and is a good base for trips and tours in the Natural Park.
From the campsite you can take a short trip to Volca Montsacopa in the heart of the city or to the nearby La Fageda de Jorda, Volcà el Croscat or Volcà Santa Margarida.There are also hiking trails near Sant Joan de les Fonts with many natural fountains and small waterfalls. Brochures are available at the reception and we are happy to provide advice.
Volcà Montsacopa
In the middle
of Olot
The Volcà Montsacopa is located right in the heart of Olot and offers a great view over Olot and its surroundings. On its crater lies the Iglesia de Sant Francesc, rebuilt in 1875. The two Torres de Virgía, built in the second half of the Carlist War, are also located on the crater. From these two viewpoints you have an excellent view over La Garrotxa and La zona volcànica. From the campsite it takes about 50 minutes up to the crater.
