High level guided trekking - day or multi-day tours
The high Sierra Nevada provide wonderful opportuinities for mountain trekking of the highest quality. The traverse of the main ridge takes 5 days and covers all the major peaks. Mulhacen, highest in Spain is always a challenge. In addition we have many fine day and multi day tours in the range. Further afield we run annual trips to the Spanish Pyrenees.
Trekking Sierra Nevada 3000m Peaks (Los Tres Miles)
Early
autumn and the spring are ideal times to visit. The weather is cool
enough for the lowlands, yet warm and dry enough for the high mountains.
Snow will linger on the high peaks for much of the year. We run these
popular trips from mid-May through to the end of November. We aim to
cover all the main 3,000 metre peaks of the Sierra Nevada in one week.
Transport support is provided to ensure we are able to traverse the
main sections of the range. The walking is quiet and unspoilt but a
certain amount of resilience is required as it is remote and rough.

Mulhacen - Spain's highest mountain
Mulhacen
rises to 3482m making it the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula and
continental Spain. Mulhacen is also the highest peak in Europe outside
the Alps and the Caucasus Mountains, and the third most topographically
prominent peak in Western Europe, after Mont Blanc and Mount Etna. It
is part of the Sierra Nevada range in the Cordillera Penibetica. We
climb Mulhacen in either a 2 day ascent staying in the Poqueira Hut
or a 1 day (summer only ascent).

Walking Sierra Nevada High Peaks
The high and major peaks of the Sierra Nevada can be ascended in 1 or
2 days. Why not include the ascent of some of the finest peaks in Spain
into your holiday itinerary? You may combine any of these trips into
a week or 2 weeks walking. The walking is rough but the views are vast
and spectacular and yet, quiet and unspoilt!
