パンパネイラの山小屋＆キャビン・トップ14

It is a joy to arrive and see that they are carrying out a complete restoration of the shelter.

This mountain hut was closed for a long time due to renovations (from 2023), see the relevant website for more information (Spanish).

Nice picnic spot after summiting Pico Veleta, if not spending a night here.

This beautiful rest area has shade, incredible views and a perfect fountain to refill your bottles on the hottest days.

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.

This beautiful stone hut with fireplace and window is located in the herb garden. There is even a hiking booklet for entries.

In the middle of nowhere emerges this beautiful herb garden with tables, benches, shady spots, fountain and hut. Be sure to enjoy the great nature and foresight. The beds are even labeled.
