CABAÑA CERROGUISANDO AL POZO DE LA NIEVE

MTB: 2h30 medium pace, stopping when necessary.

• The difficulty for MTB are the 3 steep climbs of about 50m that we find in 3 main points:

1. the slope at the beginning (10min of suffering and climbing techniques with water channels and loose stones)

2. Climb from the recreational area 'Las Barrancas' to the intermediate meadow (Vaquerizas) about 15min of trail among sticks and pine cones fairly steep.

3. Last 300m of loose stone before the gate of the well (15min tough both for ramp and for the terrain)

• On the way back, taking off 10 min of ascent 7% or 10% of wide GR in 'El Castañar' that can be climbed perfectly, the only additional difficulty on the way back is TO KEEP the arms and wrists due to the tremendous descent time back to our Cabin Cerroguisando.

HIKING:

• The only difficulty we find is the DURATION of the route, since the slopes you can read in the MTB route description, on foot are only of medium difficulty, neither hard nor steep nor long to go with trail or trekking shoes.

WATER POINTS.

There are water points at km 5 and 7 on the way there and just before facing the last slopes, both in the recreational area of las Barrancas, and just before the last steep slope.

75% of the route runs along GR and 4m wide sandy road.

SEASONS: ALL (There is a lot of shade)

RECOMMENDED: MAY TO JUNE - OCTOBER TO NOVEMBER.
