In a few words

Embark on an immersive experience in the Alpujarra, an Andalusian region nestled at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. This 7-day trip invites you to discover, on foot, whitewashed villages perched on the slopes, verdant valleys carved by mountain streams, and majestic peaks rising to over 3,000 meters. From Pampaneira, you'll explore the Poqueira Gorge, connect the charming villages of Capileira, Bubión, and Trevélez, and hike through exceptionally rich natural landscapes. The itinerary combines crossings of oak forests, terraced fields, panoramic viewpoints, and ancient trails.


The highlight of the trip is the ascent of Mulhacén (3,482 m), the highest peak in the Iberian Peninsula. This alpine adventure is accessible via a 4x4 transfer, allowing you to gain altitude before the climb. Accommodation is comfortable and the welcome is warm.

The highlights

  • The diversity of landscapes between valleys, forests and high mountains
  • The ascent of Mulhacén, roof of Spain (3,482 m)
  • The authenticity of the white Andalusian villages

Note

The itinerary is highly dependent on weather conditions, particularly for the ascent of Mulhacén (Day 6), located in the high mountains at an altitude of over 3,400 meters. In case of strong winds, thunderstorms, or late snowfall, an alternative route will be offered in the upper Poqueira basin, providing a scenic and safe hike without exposing the group to the harsh conditions of high altitude.

In general, the guide reserves the right to modify the order of stages, routes or accommodations if the safety of the group or local constraints require it (residual snow, landslides, closure of slopes, etc.).

All hikes are planned as light multi-day treks , with transfers provided to avoid carrying luggage between stages.
