Cuerda Larga hiking route in Navacerrada

Come with us to trekking through an idyllic corner of Madrid , through the emblematic Sierra de Guadarrama, in the Madrid municipality of Navacerrada, where we will enjoy the Long Rope hiking route for a full day and in which we will cover an extension of 20 kilometers. The perfect plan to get rid of monotony in a simple way and knowing the nature that characterizes this region so much.

You will have a day of total relaxation where you can take refuge from the chaotic city with total ease, since for this Long Rope hiking route you will not need anything except to come with clothes and comfortable sports shoes. Our guide will lead you through the most beautiful places in this area and you will not need to know or bring anything else. It will only be walking and strolling through beautiful trails and between large hills that will allow you to know from inside the colossal Sierra de Guadarrama.

We will start from Navacerrada port and go along a path that will lead us to the Las Cabrillas rope. This part will consist of a kilometer and a half and has a very gentle slope so the climb will be really enjoyable. Even so, we will gain height quickly and we will come across the statue of La Virgen de las Nieves. From this moment on the unevenness begins to be more pronounced and we begin to approach the 9 peaks that we will pass through during the Cuerda Larga hiking route .
First we will find the peak of the Ball of the World , which is 2,258 meters high. Up to this point we will already have about 3 and a half kilometers and we will soon see the Summit of the Malicious . After that, we will continue to Alto de Valdemartín , the second peak that we can admire with this hiking route and from where we can see the Collado de las Guarramillas . This summit has an altitude of 2280 meters.

When we enjoy enough of the surroundings and the views, we have to descend towards the Valdemartín pass , to later face the Cabeza de Hierro Menor , with 2374 meters high , and during this walk we will have an impressive panoramic view of Peñalara . Upon reaching this summit we will be stunned by the landscapes, which enjoy absolute and enveloping silence.

Once we have passed Cabeza de Hierro Menor we will go to the highest mountain of the entire Long Rope hiking trail. It is the older brother of the previous peak, Cabeza de Hierro Mayor, and which has 2381 meters of altitude and which in turn, also turns out to be the highest in the Sierra de Guadarrama . In the surroundings of this beautiful corner we can rest and the ideal place for this is the Peña de Vaqueros .

With the batteries well replaced, we head to the fifth mountain that we will visit with the Cuerda Larga hiking route, the Loma del Pandasco, with 2247 meters. From here we will continue walking towards the Collado de las Zorras which will eventually lead us to the Navahondilla height, the sixth summit that we will visit in Cuerda Larga, and all this delighting us with the Peñalara Massif as a background.

After visiting this peak we will go to the seventh mountain, Asomate de Hoyos. Already here we will have accumulated about 13.2 kilometers and we can admire how it isdue to Pedriza, where we can also stop to rest a little more so that fatigue does not get in the way of our hiking route.

Now finishing, we will have two last stops in sight. In the first place, Dancers, with 2,133 meters high and finally La Najarra, with 2,120 meters of altitude and where we will arrive crossing the cliffs that separate the homonymous hill from the summit itself. Finally, we will descend through a valley towards the Morcuera pass and it is then that we will finish the Cuerda Larga hiking route.

Go ahead and do this exciting trekking route with us and disconnect from the routine without major complications.
