Sierra Nevada sunset during a traverse of the main ridge - Return to Listing
Looking west from a high camp on the western side of the Sierra Nevada. The shot was taken during a 5 day traverse of the range covering all of the 3000 metre peaks including Mulhacen, the highest peak in mainland Spain. 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. This tour is quite strenuous and should be undertaken by strong hill walkers. We stay in either secluded campsites by lakes in the mountains or in mountain huts.
