3000-meter-high trekking route in Sierra Nevada

With all his experience and background, Jose invites you to challenge yourself in an advanced trek across a 3000-meter-high route in Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. Are you ready?

Sierra Nevada

4 Days

Jul - Sep

Description

I want to invite you to discover Sierra Nevada walking around the massif from Northeast to Southwest, always above 3000 meters of height.

During this trek, you will also enjoy the views of Granada, the Mediterranean Sea and Africa, if climate helps. We’ll approach to the mythical summits of the Sierra Nevada Range:

Picón de Jeres
Vacares
Alcazaba
Mulhacen
Veleta
Caballo

It is an advanced trek in which we’ll have to spend the nights in non-guarded huts, take our own provisions and find water by ourselves during all the expedition.

Besides, there is a possibility of doing an integral trek completely autonomously, without going through the Poqueira Hut. Please consult me if you’re interested.

I offer you 4 trekking days and 3 nights. The first one in bivouac, only covered by stars. We’ll spend the second night in a guarded hut where you can recover energies and provisions. The last one, will be in a non guarded refuge or if you want, under the starry sky again.

Here below you’ll find more details about the route and the complete program.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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.

Joshua

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.
