The location of the town, spread between the southern slopes of Taga and the Serra Cavallera, to the N, and the northern slopes of the Puig Estela mountain range and the Castelltallat hill, to the SE, means that we find green pastures, pine forests, oaks and beeches, and all kinds of unevenness.
You will find all the itineraries here. In terms of associations, the town has the Unió Excursionista de Sant Joan de les Abadesses, which aims to promote the technique and practice of hiking and mountain activities in their diversity, as well as activities cultural, scientific, informative and educational also aimed at the improvement and conservation of nature.
