    FAQs

    As this is a high-demand and very short-season walking area, we recommend that you make your reservation as soon as you have your plans ready. 

    For this tour an average daily walk of 12 km is planned with significant ascents and descents, so the rating is moderate to strenuous. The route goes through rocky mountain trails, gravel, forests and stony paths. 

    Some of the paths are narrower or exposed, so equipment is required to secure your feet in certain areas. There are also easier-to-overcome areas where no special equipment is required.

    It is recommended to take this tour having had previous experience of mountain walking and being in good physical shape, in addition to the tranquillity of being able to get on a cable car at the beginning or end of the hikes.

    Comfortable walking clothes, waterproof jacket and pants and good shoes or walking boots – ideally waterproof – hat and gloves. In the information dossier, we will show you all the details of the equipment with tips to prepare your backpack. 

    You can do this trip from early July to mid-September, starting any day of the week. We recommend that you travel in July or September. 

    If you do this in July, you can enjoy the colourful flowering in the area, while in September you will enjoy more pleasant temperatures in a relaxed atmosphere. 

    To make the most of your time, we recommend you purchase a cable car pass so you can start walking at altitude without exhausting your energies by walking long routes through the forests. 

    For this, although there are several options, the most recommended is to buy a 5-day card to use the cable cars as many times as you want during that period, with a cost of approximately 65 euros per person.

    Yes, it's included. We will transfer the luggage between each accommodation according to your itinerary. Each person can take a suitcase up to 20 kg (45 lbs).
