Description

In the south of Spain, the Sierra Nevada mountains rise spectacularly, and look absolutely wondrous.

For a full week I would like to guide on a hiking adventure through the amazing Sierra Nevada mountains. I would like to show you all of the beautiful sights in the area. And with 7 days to do it, I believe you will have ample time to not just see, but truly take in and appreciate this amazing mountain range.

We will be trekking for an average of approximately 12 kilometres per day. We will also be enduring an average rise in altitude of approximately 800 metres per day. As a result, participants should be in good enough physical condition to maintain that pace.

The list of highlights you will see during this trip is long and incredible. Some examples include the following.

An ascent of Veletta (3,398m)
An ascent of Alcazaba (3,371m)
Hidden lakes
Alpine flowers
An ascent of Mulhacen (3,479m)

Along with the great hiking you will get to enjoy on this trip, you will also get to relax and rest during the evenings in the lovely Alcadima hotel. This wonderful hotel, which will be our home base is located in the beautiful spa town of Lanjaron, which is very close to the Sierra Nevada mountains.

The rooms of the Alcadima are well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Many of the rooms also include a balcony where you can enjoy fantastic views of a nearby castle, as well as the mountains.

The Sierra Nevada mountain range in southern Spain is a wonderful place to visit and explore. And for 7 days I would be happy to guide you through it. To join me, all you have to do is send me a request.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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.
