Description

Discover the mythical Veleta Peak on this ascent in Sierra Nevada, Spain.

The Veleta Peak belongs to the Sierra Nevada in the Penibetica mountain range. It is located in Granada, Andalusia and with 3,398 meters, it is the fourth highest summit in Spain.

From the roof of the mountain, you will see the amazing Mulhacen (3,482 meters) and the incredible Alcazaba (3,371 meters). These are the second and the sixth highest summits in the country respectively. Also, if weather allows we can admire the African Continent behind the Mediterranean Sea. A really stunning landscape!

If you want to take this ascent, consider that a medium level of fitness is mandatory. My last recommendation is to bring:

Mountain clothing and shoes
Windbreaker jacket
Food and water
Walking poles
Ice ax and crampons in winter season

Do not hesitate and come with me on this ascent to the Veleta Peak in Andalusia. I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed. Request to book now!

Since I was a kid I travelled around the hills and peaks of Sierra Nevada range in south Spain, going up and down the valleys that made me in love with the mountains world.

Steadily, I discovered other ranges of the Iberic peninsula such as the Pyrenees and Picos de Europa, and then I travelled to the peruvian Andes, the Amazonas jungle, the Moroccan Atlas...

Thanks to these experiences and two years of studying to become a professional mountain guide, I started a new project called Nevalia mountain guides.

I hope I can help you to make true your mountain dreams!

What people are saying about Alejandro

Laura

Before the hike, the guide was very professional, taking the initiative to stay in touch, responding quickly, and being very flexible. Shortly before the hike, we received a message that the guide had been changed. The new guide also reached out proactively and communicated very well. During the hike, the guide was very helpful, caring, friendly, and considerate. I had two children with me (ages 11 and 9), for whom this was their first mountain hike. The guide adjusted to their pace, making the hike truly enjoyable. Throughout the hike, we saw many breathtaking views and mountain goats, experiencing both challenging ascents and easier descents. My family was extremely satisfied with the hike!

The trip was great. Unfortunately, due to very bad weather conditions, we were not able to climb to the top of the Toubkal

Our guide was actually Ruben. Alejandro was sick. Ruben was just great. Definitely 5 stars.

Our guide was changed on us last minute. Before the hike, I had missed the messages from the guide because the notifications went to a weird place in my email inbox. Because we messaged him late, he cancelled on us. I was worried we wouldn't be able to go on the hike at all. Luckily, we ended up going with a different guide, Victoria, who was lovely.
