From the pristine domain of the northern face of the Sierra Nevada National Park, we offer one of the most comprehensive and demanding circular traverses. Setting off from the Refugio Postero Alto, you will begin a memorable ascent through the impressive Barranco del Alhorí (Alhorí Ravine).
This circular route is designed for those seeking the solitude of the high mountains, away from the most frequented peaks. You will face a journey linking three iconic summits that exceed 3,000 meters: Picón de Jerez (3,088m), Puntal de Juntillas (3,143m), and the majestic Cerro Pelado (3,182m).
The route: An intense day of high physical demandingness, ideal for experienced mountaineers. The route is approximately 22 kilometers with an accumulated positive elevation gain of over +1,300 meters, with an estimated time of 9 to 10 hours. The path moves along spectacular ridges and areas without defined trails, requiring good orientation and constant effort.
The reward for the day's difficulty is immense. From Cerro Pelado, you will enjoy one of the best 360-degree viewpoints in Sierra Nevada. The view spans from Mulhacén and Veleta to the Mediterranean coast on clear days. You will explore an area of high mountain lagoons and vertical cliffs, experiencing the peace and grandeur of the National Park in its purest state. We will take our time to rest, celebrate the achievement of summiting the three peaks, and admire these simply unforgettable landscapes.
Dare to link the northern three-thousanders! An unforgettable experience through the heart of Sierra Nevada.
