Winter ascent to Veleta and photos 6 hours

It is impossible to think of Sierra Nevada without its most representative peak coming to mind: El Veleta. If you like the mountains, it is almost mandatory that you come to take this excursion.

Access to the route is easy, since you can go up to 2,500 meters by car. But that doesn't mean that what comes next isn't demanding. You will have to come well equipped and prepared to walk through ice areas, snowdrifts, snowfields and in general, in high mountain conditions!

Depending on the group's pace, the session may be extended to half a day or even a full day.

Before starting the session, we are going to do self-arrest practices with the help of the ice ax as well as climbing with crampons. If the use of rackets is required, we would also give an introductory session.

When we reach the top we will enjoy the best views of the Sierra Nevada. On clear days you can see the sea and even the coast of Africa, in optimal conditions.

The route is about 14 kilometers, with 900 meters of elevation gain. The level of difficulty will be easy - medium.

You must come equipped with clothing and mountain progression material, sun protection and food and water.

We will do aphoto reportof the ascension.

*The activity is subject to group formation.
