Bus Parc from Sant Celoni to Santa Fe

The Bus Parc is the bus network promoted by the Diputació de Barcelona to enter the Montseny Natural Park without a car, and Sagalés line 573 is the one that climbs from Sant Celoni to Santa Fe de Montseny, the heart of the park, with the reservoir and beech forest of Santa Fe. In autumn, when the park opens welcome points so that you leave the car below, it is the simplest way to get there.

When it runs

The Bus Parc runs on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays all year, except Christmas and New Year. Timetables vary by time of year, and Sagalés publishes them on each line's page. In autumn, from 10 October to 8 December 2026, weekend timetables are extended and line 572, from Sant Celoni to Fontmartina, also runs.

In Sant Celoni the bus stops in front of the train station, which is on Rodalies line R2. If you come by car from elsewhere and want to go up by bus, the park points to the La Forestal car park, at calle Olzinelles, 35, in Sant Celoni.

Tickets

The special single ticket costs €2.65 and is valid all day, with unlimited trips up and down, on lines 572, 573, 576 and 484e. Under-12s do not pay. Payment is by cash only: the bus does not accept cards. All the integrated ATM passes are also valid, which allow transfer from train to bus.

If you come by train, Rodalies sells a combined Renfe + Bus Parc ticket, valid only on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, with destination Sant Celoni, Palautordera or Balenyà-Tona-Seva: €10.80 from most Rodalies stations in Barcelona, €8.50 from the Granollers Centre to Maçanet-Massanes stretch and €13.30 from the Girona to Sils stretch.

Rules on board

Pets must travel in a carrier of at most 60 × 35 × 35 cm; guide dogs have no limit. Rucksacks, picnic and sports equipment go in the boot, and bicycles must be packed. Sagalés may limit the number of bicycles. Groups of more than ten people must notify Sagalés beforehand, on 938 707 860 or at [email protected].

Other Bus Parc lines

Line 576 climbs from Santa Maria de Palautordera, from the train station, to the village of Montseny. On the Osona side, the 436 runs from Vic to Viladrau and the 484 from Vic to Collformic, with a stop at the Balenyà-Tona-Seva station car park; from Collformic the climb to Matagalls starts.

What to do in Santa Fe

From the stop you walk round the reservoir among beech trees, and keen walkers can continue towards the Turó de l'Home and Les Agudes from Can Casades. Always check the time of the last bus down before setting out.
