Starting and finishing each hike

In general, breakfast in the mountains is at 7- 7:15 am.

It’s customary to arrive in the dining room with your rucksacks prepared apart from the picnic lunch.

We will start walking at 8:00 am and arrive at our destination around 5:00 pm.

It is very important to stick to the timetable because it’s necessary to rest between each day’s hike. We will have 3-4 hours rest before dinner, which, including the time to stretch properly, will allow us to be in perfect condition for the following day.

Guides and Safety

All our guides have the necessary training to ensure the complete safety of the group.

We will keep the group together and in contact by using walkie talkies. Our guides have all taken first aid courses.

Weather in the Sierra Nevada

The weather in the summits of the Sierra Nevada is severe, even in summer. The high levels of the sun on a clear sunny day can make us sweat and allow us to walk in shorts and t-shirts. However, we will frequently meet with low temperatures especially in the early morning when we start walking, or winds, which require several layers and windstoppers as well as walking trousers.

The temperature also falls dramatically at night, even to below zero, meaning that we will need to wrap up warmly even to go outside to look at the stars.

According to our terms and conditions, the guide, being the person responsible for the group, can decide to modify the route and the timetable in the case of forecasts of gales or storms, public land closures, etc. which could put the activity and the safety of the group at risk.

Medical Considerations

We ask that our hikers inform us of the existence of any chronic or cardiovascular illness which could interfere with hiking activities. To this end, we will send out a form which must be completed. The personal information which is given is covered by our data protection policy and will not be used for anything other than to provide us with the information necessary for this activity to be carried out well.

For the same reasons we need to know about any allergies.

The high mountains are demanding. In different guides the routes which we will do are catalogued as being medium difficulty, but it is necessary to remember that these are mountaineering guides and are written for regular mountain users.

A good level of physical fitness is required and previous experience of routes of a similar difficulty and altitude acclimatization is necessary. The pace that we will follow is not a sporting one but a pace which will allow interpretation and interaction, however, experience or regular hiking is essential.
