Cabanes als Arbres

Sleep perched in a tree At the heart of the Sierra del Montseny

You can rediscover your childhood dreams and live in a cabin in the treetops just 84 km (52 miles) from Barcelona.

The Cabanes als arbres are cabins hanging 10m above the ground attached to the trunks of robust Douglas firs.

Our goal is to offer the pleasure of spending a night with a tree and its ecosystem, while teaching people about the importance of the environment.

The first two tree houses were established in July 2009, and today there are ten tree houses:

• Six 2-person cabins and
• Four 4-person cabins.

Once checked in, you’re overcome by the feeling of living a childhood adventure. The cabins built in the trees of Montseny have no ground supports – they are attached to the tree by several cables to divide the weight.

The entrance is by a suspended bridge or a ladder. All the cabins are made from wood (even the handles on the windows) and are built around the trunk. They are each 30m2 with a terrace of 10 m2.

The interior, through which the trunk passes vertically, is furnished with a double bed, sofa, table and chairs; there’s a “bathroom” area with jugs of water and a dry toilet.The real life of a twenty-first-century Robinson Crusoe comes with its own challenges. The tree houses have no electricity, but you’ll be provided with candles and torches. There’s no no running water, but a short distance away at Mas La Vileta, is the reception area where all amenities are located, including showers, toilets, a magnificent swimming pool and a restaurant.
