게하르 시에라‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 산길

El Cruce de Pradollano는 그라나다 주에 위치한 Sierra Nevada 스키 리조트로 향하는 가장 잘 알려진 접근 지점 중 하나입니다. 사이클리스트들에게 이곳은 안달루시아에서 가장 전설적인 등반 코스 중 하나인 Pradollano 중심부로 향하는 시작점이나 통과 지점으로서 상징적인 장소이며, 여름 시즌에는 Sierra Nevada의 더 높은 고도로 이어집니다.

Pradollano is the highest ski resort in the Sierra Nevada and the hub for services at the foot of the slopes, home to hotels, restaurants, and an après-ski atmosphere. Located at over 2,000 meters above sea level, it combines the beauty of a mountain village with everything the surrounding area has to offer.

Here you still have to overcome 800 vertical meters to reach the top of the Pico Veleta. Shortly after that, cars cannot go any further and you are on the road alone!

wow ... rough beauty

The turnoff itself, in my opinion, isn't a highlight, but it's a very important junction for planning. The northwestern route is a secondary road closed to car traffic, so you can ride quite relaxed and "alone" with other cyclists and the occasional hiker. The southeastern route is the main road, where all the car traffic heads into the tourist area. I would definitely avoid the main road (there are lots of aggressive tourists who pass you quickly and closely). The exit on the main road is better if you want to go very fast.

Hoya de la Mora is a small plateau with parking, kiosk huts, something from the university and the Civil Guard. The famous barrier is also located at approximately this height. It's always easy to clear up to here in winter, but depending on the weather it gets difficult from here. If no snow has fallen yet, you can still make it up to 2800-3000m in January until the road is full of ice. If it snows, it's over at the ski slope at the latest.

La Hoya de la Mora is the highest point that can be reached by vehicle to climb the Veleta peak. In this place, there is a large parking lot and a bus stop.

This is the highest point that can be reached with the vehicle if we want to walk up to the vane, here we would have to leave the car and starting point towards the vane
