    Tips

    February 6, 2022

    Sierra Nevada is the highest mountain range in western Europe after the Alps, with incredible Cols and landscapes to ride and the Europe's southernmost Sky resort.



    The city center of Granada is just at 45km from the top of Pico Veleta (3.394m), considered one of the longest, hardest and most challenging climbs in the world, completely cyclable by this North side through the highest paved road in Europe.



    The South climb to Pico Veleta starts from the village of Capileira, located at La Alpujarra. This off-road climb, without technical difficulties beyond the elevation and the mountain weather, includes some small shelters over 3.000m height (La Caldera, Villavientos and La Carihuela), although due to the snowfields the route is only cyclable in summer.
