Bus Service to Veleta in the summer months?

[El Perro Negro]

The Sierra Nevada National Park is running a minubus service from the University Albergue (2500m) to the Posiciones de Veleta at 3100m on the northen flank of Veleta (3398m). This will save about 600m ascent for walkers starting off at the car park at the Hoya de la Mora (2500m).

This makes Mulhacen accessible in a day or the various great walks and treks around Veleta, Cerro de los Machos or the Cartujo. The summit of Veleta is about 1hr away from the bus drop off point.

The schedules at the moment are the following: -
ascents: 8.00 - 9,30 - 11,00 - 12,30 - 15,00 - 16,30 - 18.00
descents: 8.45 - 10,15 - 11,45 - 13,15 - 15,45 - 17,15 - 18.45

Since there are only 17 places on each bus it is recommended to book in advance by telephoning 671564407.
