Proper equipment and skills are essential
Safety is a priority in the management of the Natural and National Park. Practicing activities in the mountains requires skills and equipment according to the type of activity. In addition, in the high mountains it is essential to consult several meteorological sources before starting the activity. Let yourself be guided in the mountain, the local guides will provide you with safety, advice, material, knowledge and values. In any case, alone or accompanied in a mountain activity, you should consult the recommendations of the Protected Natural Area, know how the regulations for public use are here and be very aware of the weather forecast.
The network of marked trails
The network of marked trails is very extensive in the low and medium mountains. It is possible to find information panels and approved marks, guideposts and descriptions, as well as official tracks on the websites of the Federación Andaluza de Montaña, Diputación de Granada, and the Ventana del Visitante de la Junta de Andalucía (Visitor's Window of the Junta de Andalucía). In contrast, on the high peaks of the National Park there are no panels and the trails are only marked with stone milestones. They are clearly visible and one should not walk off these traces. Sierra Nevada volunteers work hard to maintain the trails and eliminate harmful trails. Mountaineering and alpinism already requires an extreme knowledge of the mountain range so it is even more advisable to go with expert guides.
Each protected natural area seeks the conservation of different values and the rules of use may change. Our visitors should consult the guidelines for responsible behavior in matters such as:The transit of bicycles, which can only be done on roads suitable for this sport.in no case is it allowed to bathe in the high mountain lagunillas, extremely sensitive to changes.in your crossings you can bivouac but not camping. In any case, you may not place your tents on the mountain meadows and you must inform the Natural Area of the itinerary of your trip if you plan to spend the night in the Sierra, and you must remove your tents and bivouac at dawn each day, never leave them in the same place for several days.
