The Montserrat Benedictine Monastery is situated in the impressive mountain massif of the same name northwest of Barcelona and has been a well-known pilgrimage center for centuries. For comfortable transportation of the pilgrims to the various locations in the terrain, during the course of the decades, many different means of transportation have been built in this area. In 2018, the operating company of the railway, the Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya (FGC), commissioned LEITNER and its Spanish subsidiary Teleféricos y Nieve for the modernization of the funicular.
