Winter activities in the Sierras of Southern Spain

With snow on the ground from November through to April and bright sunny days walking and snowshoeing in amongst the higher peaks is a fantastic experience. Even for the inexperienced snowshoeing is and easy and delightful way to explore forest and mountain trails covered in deep snow and opens up a whole new way to experience these and other mountains throughout the year. Access could not be easier as we can normally step straight from car straight onto the snow at Hoya de Mora or Puerta La Ragua.
Winter ascents to 3,000m and above is a real achievement and given the right snow and weather conditions a real possibility. Routes such as the South Ridge of Mulhacen or the west ridge of Cerro de Caballo are well within the capabilities of fit walkers with some winter walking experience in the UK .
IML guides are not qualified to take undertake technical routes requiring the use of crampons and ice axes by the client.
