  • MAIN DIFFICULTIES:
  • An extremely difficult path due to its steepness.

  • RECOMMENDED TIME OF THE YEAR:
  • Any time of year except winter. Avoid rainy days.

  • SPECIFIC ADVICE:
  • Habitual precautions common to hiking in general are listed below. At the risk of sounding obvious, here are some of the most important: - Check weather forecasts before setting off to hike. - Don´t go alone - Tell someone your intended destination and expected time of arrival - Carry a small rucksack with warm clothing, waterproofs, food and plenty of water. - Don´t forget such simple items as: sun hat, protective cream and sun glasses - Carry a mobile phone with fully-charged battery, a map and, if possible, a compass. They will probably never be used but, when required, are of vital importance. - Wear suitable gear, especially footwear: trekking boots or similar are essential, trainers or pumps are to be avoided.

  • REMARKS:
  • If the Lomo del Lance path (PR LP 2) is complicated and difficult, this one is even more so. Only recommended for very experienced walkers, suitably trained and not going alone. It is the most difficult route of the whole network of footpaths. The starting point is to the south of that of the PR LP 2, and details of how to get there will be found in the description of that path.
