Spanish 3 Peaks Challenge – Adventure Weekend in the Sierra Nevada

Fancy taking on your biggest adventure yet? Join Essex Adventures for a long weekend in Southern Spain as we summit three legendary peaks of the Sierra Nevada: Mulhacén (3482m), Pico del Caballo (3011m), and Veleta (3395m).

We’ll be based in a rustic mountain lodge at 2500m — the perfect spot to relax together in the evenings after big summit days. Over three action-packed days you’ll hike past turquoise glacial lagoons, along dramatic ridgelines, and up to panoramic viewpoints with breathtaking vistas stretching as far as the Mediterranean, and even across to North Africa on a clear day.
