Climbing Mulhacen: Top Outdoor Adventures Awaiting You

Question 1

What should I know about Mountain Climbing Mulhacen?

Answer

Although in the past you could ascend with vehicles, today you can only climb on foot, on horseback or even by bicycle (through its southern slope). The climbing trip to Mulhacen does not require technical difficulty, but you should keep in mind that an altitude change of 4,000 meters in just two days can be a very exhausting itinerary, unless you have an adequate physical condition.

Question 2

Why should I choose Mulhacen for my Mountain Climbing adventure?

Answer

Several climbing options

You can climb its south or west faces, which do not represent technical difficulties. The north and east slopes, however, are indicated only for experts, unless you set off from a closer point of the route, which is also an option.

Wildlife

At some point along the way, you will feel the company of mountain goats, wild horses and huge flocks of birds that will seem to float like clouds across the steep slopes of Mulhacen.

Bubión

Besides being the perfect place for acclimatization, this tourist town is really picturesque. It is at 1300 meters of height, and it is a very nice place to rest. If you want to try their meals, do not miss some alpujarreñas lunches or 'migas'.

Question 3

When is the best time to travel to Mulhacen for Mountain Climbing?
