Description
Come with me on this amazing 2-day guided ascent to Mount Mulhacen (3482 meters) and let's climb together to the roof of the Iberian Peninsula!
Located in the Sierra Nevada National Park, Mount Mulhacen with an altitude of 3482 meters, is the highest peak of the Iberian Peninsula. My proposal is for us to venture into this amazing park, discovering its old paths full of rich history and breathtaking landscapes.
In order to make the ascent less challenging, I have organized our climbing in two days so that climbers can rest one night at the Poqueria mountain hut. It will be on our second day that we will start the ascent to Mulhacen, directly from the refuge.
You may find a detailed itinerary below.
Some mountaineering experience will be necessary as well as having a good physical condition. Although the trip is suitable for the intermediate climber, remember that on our second day we will be walking between 8 or 10 hours.

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!

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.
