If you want walk at altitude and experience the Sierra Nevada ridge and its stunning scenery and wildlife, then you can include the 3000 metre ridge into your itinerary. The walk can be from 9km to 16km in length and we can do the walks at anytime of year, weather depending. The 9km is not a difficult walk but you will be walking at altitude all day which does make your body work that bit harder. The 16km walk is harder but not there are no long steep ascents or descents, as we have gained the altitude by vehicle. The cost is 40 Euro per person, based on two people with luch provided. The walk is guided by one of our guides and involves a 1 hour 4X4 transfer to the start point which is the highest point in the Sierra Nevada you can get a vehicle.

If you would like to make your own way to the start point of your self guided walking holiday then the local bus company is at www.alsa.es , it is a reliable and good service or if you wish to hire a car then we use www.amigoautos.com which we have found the best price comparison site around.

Granada & the Alhmabra Granada & Alhambra Excursion (to be taken on a nominated free day) 45 Euro inc ticket to Alhmabra per person (min 2 people) Lunches Lunches can be obtained from hotels or from local shops. The average price for a picnic lunch from a hotel is 6.50/7.50 Euro, which will include a sandwich, fruit, cake and a drink, or you can buy the Ibex Trex lunch package for 5 Euro per day. Ibex Trex lunch includes large sandwich, homemade cake, fresh fruits and a drink if required.

We spent 9 wonderful, self-guided, days with Ibex Trex. The mountains are spectacular, the walking superb. Can't say enough good things about the Hotel accommodation, fantastic views, good food and superb ammenities. We wish we were still there but hopefully it is NOT a once in a lifetime trip. Don't hesitate, contact Dan, and go. Ron and Friends

Thank you for a really great introduction to the Sierra Nevada. We had a really good time – we felt the medium level itinerary show cased the area really well, routes we would never have found for ourselves and we really enjoyed all the hotels, again I’m sure we wouldn’t have found such good places to stay. Chris was really helpful and friendly – it felt good to have someone in the country – and made us feel very spoilt having an itinerary built around what we wanted to do. Thank you so much for being so flexible with changing the night’s stay at Trevelez, my fault I felt I would not be up for walking two long 18km days back to back. Had a lovely restful stay in Trevelez enjoying the mountains and roof top terrace views."
