Wild camp at Siete Lagunas on the Sierra Nevada Traverse - Return to Listing
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 by. 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. Accommodation is either in secluded campsites in the mountains, private villa in Lanjaron or in mountain huts. The trek can be tailored somewhat to the wishes of the group. Scrambling sections may be included or omitted as required. There are very expansive and dramatic views but in general no great head for heights is necessary. A gradual rise to the 3,000-metre level ensures altitude does not become a major problem. 4WD vehicles will take our camping gear and food to the first nights stop at the Caballo Hut. Thereafter we traverse the range and taking in the highest peaks in mainland Spain before dropping down to the very picturesque Siete Lagunas (Valley of the Seven Lakes). Here we spend two nights before descending to the highest village in Spain, Trevelez, for a celebration wine tasting in a local bodega
