Description

Would you like to enjoy a classic hike in the beautiful Sierra Nevada Mountain Range in Spain? Then this 2-day hike along the Vereda de la Estrella path is for you.

An extremely popular and wonderfully scenic hiking route, the Vereda de la Estrella will show you a number of tremendous highlights in the Sierra Nevada. You will get to gaze at the faces of the highest and most spectacular peaks in the Sierra Nevada. Some of those mountains include Mulhacen (3,479m), Veleta (3,366m) and Alcazaba (3,371m). You will also get to see the area’s rich collection of valleys, rivers and more.

Originally built as a path connecting various mines in the mountains, the Vereda de la Estrella is beautiful, but also crowded at times. As a result, don’t be surprised if you see plenty of people throughout the day. But, rest assured that despite the collection of people, the views are absolutely worth it.

At the end of the first day, we will be staying in the comfortable Refugio de la Cucaracha. On the next day, after a good night’s rest, we will continue the hike.

Due to the length and elevation gain of this trek, it is important that participants on this trip are in good physical condition.

A wonderful trekking experience for anybody who wants to explore the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Spain, this 2-day trek on the Vereda de la Estrella is a trip you will never forget. To enjoy this adventure for yourself, please send a request.

Would you like to trek the summit of the beautiful Pico Veleta? If so, come and join us on this full day hike and enjoy some amazing views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

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.
