Ascent to Veleta with crampons 1 day

A majestic snowy landscape is what can be seen, in winter, when you reach the summit of Veleta. The most emblematic peak of the Sierra Nevada is, in itself, its own entity that allows you to enjoy the views most beautiful in this region of Granada. We will take you to crown it on this 15 kilometer guided route that we will complete in approximately 6 or 8 hours.

To be able to travel through the snowy and icy trails, we will equip you with crampons. It is a material with spikes that molds to your mountain boots and gives you extra support in the snow. With them on the sole you will move easily on the snowy slopes.

The activity will begin at 9:00 in the morning, at the Sierra Nevada hostel where a monitor will explain the route while you have breakfast. After warming up, the ascent will begin.
