The route

One of the highest road passes in Andalucía, at over 2,000 m, between the Alpujarra and the Marquesado del Zenete. From Laroles you climb without respite up the south face of Sierra Nevada.

You'll feel the altitude at the top and there may be snow for much of the year: bring warm clothes for the descent.

Before you set off, check the state of the road or track and follow the traffic rules. Enjoy the ride. Track calculated with BRouter on data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
