グエハル・シエラの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Komootはマウンテンバイク向けルートとしてマークしていますが、最初の部分はほとんど不可能で、最後の部分の直前も同様です。幅わずか20cmで片側に崖があるような小道で自転車を何キロも担ぎたくないなら、このルートは避けた方がいいでしょう。途中、かなり良い状態の林道と重なる部分がありますが、そこまでたどり着くには、自転車を担いで、長くても50メートルの区間を乗り降りすることを1時間以上繰り返さなければなりませんでした。

The Veleta Peak viewpoint, located in the Sierra Nevada mountains (Granada), is one of the most spectacular spots to enjoy panoramic high-mountain views on the Iberian Peninsula. From the summit of Veleta you can enjoy: Views of the Mediterranean Sea on clear days. Panoramic views of Mulhacén, the highest peak on the peninsula. High-mountain landscapes with rock formations, snow (in winter), and native flora.

No problem at all with the north way, really nice landscape; 1h30 in running

The descent via the northern slope is only recommended to a limited extent. Due to a landslide/rockslide, the path has completely disappeared in places and you have to find your way through the terrain without a path for about 1km.

The trail is pretty easy to find until you get to the waterfalls. To reach Laguna Hondera you must climb up beside the first waterfall. That is between the two waterfalls. There are cairns on the path but it’s quite easy to miss them amongst the other routes up there. It’s a beautiful location. We saw a few ibex but only 2 other hikers!

The area of the Seven Lagoons (and Laguna Hondera in particular) is one of the most beautiful places in the Sierra Nevada National Park. The climb up here next to the waterfall formed by the Chorreras Negras is demanding, but all the pain in your legs is forgotten as soon as you reach the top and see the beauty of the place. Important note: if you plan to spend the night here, do not pitch your tent in the borreguiles (the grasslands). They are home to several species of flora endemic to the Sierra Nevada and it is necessary to protect them.

The ascent to the hill is somewhat dangerous, but it is well worth it for its privileged views of La Veleta and the ski resort. There are often mountain goats at the top.

One of the classic ascents from Trevélez, a town over which this mass looms almost threateningly. The Local Path of Andalusia nº78 reaches it, reconditioned and signposted in 2010.
