The road to Refugio Postero Alto, pure adventure
Refugio Postero Alto is a high mountain refuge at an elevation of 1.887m (6,190ft) above the sea level, located in the province of Granada, in the region of Andalucia, in southern Spain.
The road to the summit, located in the Sierra Nevada National Park, is unpaved. Recommended from late spring to early fall, since you´ll go through mountain roads where there is often snow. Starting from GR-5104 Road, near the village of Jérez del Marquesado, the road is 9.5 km (5.90 mile) long.
This is a maintained road where a high clearance 2WD vehicle is able to travel safely at low speeds. Along the way you can enjoy magnificent views. This mountain cabin provides shelter against the elements.
