The hermitage is a prominent natural viewpoint, offering panoramic views of Caudete, the Vinalopó Valley, and on clear days, even the sea.
It forms part of the official PR-AB-50 trail, a well-marked circular route of approximately 13.5 km and moderate difficulty (550 m to 1,153 m elevation gain), which allows hikers to enjoy panoramic views, Mediterranean vegetation, and a nearby historic snow well. The area is popular for hiking, mountain biking, and paragliding, with several notable routes.

The ascent is made by a wide track of compacted sand, it has some traces caused by erosion but in general it is preserved in good condition.
Once at the top of the hill, next to the hermitage, you can enjoy the impressive views that you get in all directions. The effort is worth it.
