Step into the high-altitude landscapes of Sierra Nevada National Park and experience reaching one of Southern Europe’s most iconic summits—no technical climbing skills required.
Starting at 2,500 meters (8,200 ft) at Hoya de la Mora, you will ascend steadily along alpine trails surrounded by terrain shaped by ancient glaciers. Along the way, your local guide will reveal the secrets of Sierra Nevada's unique flora and the rich history of these high-altitude routes.
The ascent: The climb takes around 3 hours via a perfectly marked path, progressively ascending until we reach 3,398 meters. This is a medium-to-high difficulty route with no technical challenges, but it does demand good physical fitness due to the positive elevation gain of around +900 meters and the high altitude. The total hike covers about 12 kilometers, with a total duration of approximately 6 hours round trip. We set out in small groups of a maximum of 12 people to ensure safety and a personalized experience.
The reward: An extraordinary landscape featuring peaks, glacial cirques, and a horizon that melts into the Mediterranean Sea. Every meter gained will make you feel that the effort was worthwhile. We’ll take our time to rest, celebrate, and admire these simply unparalleled vistas. From the summit, you will enjoy a 360-degree viewpoint spanning from the perfect silhouette of Mulhacén (the highest peak) all the way to the distant African coast on clear days.
A day of pure trekking crafted for those seeking an authentic Andalusian high-mountain adventure.
