Description

Enjoy 6 days of trekking and get to the top of different peaks in the Sierra Nevada on this fantastic program from Güéjar Sierra. We’ll enjoy trekking in beautiful natural spots and visit the lovely towns in the historical region of La Alpujarra, in Andalusia. Of course, we’ll also get to see incredible views of the range from the top of the mountains.

On day 1, we’ll depart from Güéjar Sierra to the Veleta Peak. This summit, at 3,398 meters of altitude, is the fourth tallest mountain in Spain, and the second in the range. It’s a very popular destination in Sierra Nevada. Plenty of participants come to reach this mountain every year.

On day 2, it will be the turn of Lavaderos de la Reina, a very wild natural area inside the Sierra Nevada National Park. On day 3, we’ll get to Vereda de la Estrella, a nice trail with plenty of vegetation and excellent views of the peaks in the range. On day 4, we’ll go to Poqueira Refuge, very near Mulhacén (3,487 meters), that we’ll reach on day 5. This mountain is the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula. Finally, on the last day, we’ll enjoy trekking in some of the most beautiful towns of La Alpujarra, such as Trevélez, Pampaneira, Pitres and Capileira and then end our program.

As for the difficulty, keep in mind that this program is for participants with prior hiking experience and a good level of fitness. We’ll face a varied terrain and spend 5-8 hours trekking per day.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
