Description

Climb the main peaks of the Sierra Nevada National Park  -all mountains of above 3000 meters high- with this great 3-day “Integral de Sierra Nevada” trek, starting from Jérez del Marquesado, in the Granada province.

The program has a duration of three days and two nights, in a self-supply mode, sleeping in open-air mountain bivouacs and shelters. This means each participant must carry what is necessary to spend these days in the mountain.

Our route begins at the ​​Jérez del Marquesado municipality area, specifically at the Postero Alto refuge, at 1880m high, and ends at the viewpoint of La Rinconada de Nigüelas.

Along the route, we will climb more than 15 emblematic summits of more than 3000 meters of altitude. We will ascend amazing peaks such as El Picón de Jerez (3090m), Alcazaba (3366m), Mulhacén (3482m), Cerro de los Machos (3327m), Veleta (3396m), Elorrieta (3183m), Tozal del Cartujo (3152m), Caballo (3013m), and many others.

Bear in mind this is a highly demanding trek, requiring an excellent fitness level, as well as previous experience in mountain routes.

So if you want to experience this unique trek in the Sierra Nevada mountains, just check the dates below and join us on a group departure, or you could also join us on a private tour. Book your trip and get ready for an unforgettable trek!

Great trip, I had the pleasure to meet such nice people including our guide, stayed at a mountain hut which had an amazing atmosphere and smell of some awesome traditional food! Even though in the sleeping area wasn't warm, I had a very good night sleep (with my ''best friend'' = earplugs). It was one of the best guided trips in my life!

My partner and I had an amazing day! It was our first Via Ferrata and Antonio told us everything we should know to climb this track, and even more. He was very friendly and funny, we would definitely recommend to join Antonio on a guided Ferrata! The track itself was moderately demanding for us, we are both fit and did not experience any strength difficulties during the track. We felt safe all the time. The views were stunning!
