ラス・アルプハラスの湖・トップ6

今回は積雪量が多く、雪のトンネルの壮観な光景を見せてくれました。

A welcoming place where you can bivouac while respecting nature and in the appropriate areas. This is a stopover point for traversing the Sierra Nevada's three-thousanders and a good place to rest if you're following the route traversing the easternmost three-thousanders in the mountain range.

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.

Between Veleta and Mulhacén peaks, at 3040 meters, there is a very special corner in this area of the Sierra Nevada. This is the Río Seco glacial cirque, a complex of lagoons that dries up in summer but that you can observe during the rest of the year.

Pedro Calvo Fountain in this hot summer time there is nothing better than cooling off in the fountain or in the pool

Good place to bivouac or camp one night under the stars

This raft is located next to the Pedro Calvo fountain on the Lanjarón Ascent towards the same mountain range towards the Tello refuge along the forest track
