Collformic Car Park and Information Point

Collformic is a pass on the BV-5301 road, in the municipality of El Brull, on the Osona side of the Montseny, and one of the most used access points to the park: from here leaves the most direct climb to Matagalls. The Montseny Natural Park has a car park and an information point at the pass.

Parking

The pass's own car park has room for about 20 vehicles and is free. About 500 m away there is a second car park with room for another 40. These are few spaces for such a busy access point, so if you can, go up by bus.

Information point

The information point opens on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 9:00 to 14:00 and offers personalised information about the park and its routes. The facility also has a defibrillator and is signposted as a path starting point. On weekdays there is no service: for questions, the park office at Masia Mariona answers Monday to Friday on 938 475 102.

Routes from Collformic

The park marks three routes that pass through the pass:

• GR 5.2, Els Cims del Montseny, from Collformic to Matagalls: the classic climb to the 1,697 m summit, with the cross and views over Osona. The description is in Matagalls from Collformic.
• GR 5.2 from the Pla de la Calma (the Cafè) to Collformic, the stretch that reaches the pass along the Calma range.
• SL-C 85, from El Brull to Collformic, a local path that climbs on foot from the village.

For Matagalls bring water, warm clothing and mountain footwear, because at the summit the weather can be very different from that at the pass.

Getting there without a car

Bus Parc line 484, from Vic to Sant Miquel de Balenyà and Collformic, stops at the car park of the Renfe station at Balenyà-Tona-Seva, on line R3, and goes up to the pass. It runs on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays; the special ticket costs €2.65 and is valid all day, is paid in cash only and under-12s do not pay. Timetables are on the Sagalés website. There are more details of the Bus Parc at Bus Parc from Sant Celoni to Santa Fe.

In autumn, on weekends and public holidays from 10 October to 8 December 2026, the park opens a welcome point at the entrance to El Brull, with free parking and a Bus Parc to Collformic; from El Brull you can also walk up along the SL-C 85. It is the alternative if the pass is full. Its equivalent on the Sant Celoni side is the Fogars de Montclús welcome point.

What to combine

If the summit seems too much, the Turó de Tagamanent is a short half-hour walk from the El Bellver information point.
