Walking and Trekking in the Sierra Nevada (eBook, ePUB)

38 walks, scrambles and multi-day traverses

Beschreibung

A guidebook to 30 day walks and 2-day excursions, 5 high mountain scrambles and three longer multi-day routes in Spain's Sierra Nevada. Routes are graded by difficulty: all call for good fitness and hillwalking experience, and the more demanding options involve navigational challenge, prolonged ascents, remote rugged mountain terrain and scrambling.

The walks range from 5 to 38km (3-24 miles) and from 3 hours to 2-3 days. The scrambles are graded from Grade 2 to 3S. Also included are a 3-7 day traverse of the range's 3000m peaks, a 3-day traverse of the 3 highest peaks ('Los Tres Picos') and an overview of the 302km (188 mile) Sulayr GR240.

• Clear route description illustrated with 1:50,000 mapping (1:100,000 and 1:250,000 for the longer treks)
• Photo topos showing the line of the scrambles
• GPX files available for download
• Information on water sources, plus additional notes for winter mountaineers
• Includes ascents of Mulhacén, mainland Spain's highest summit
