As reported 2 days ago the conditions in the mountains are not good. With improving weather conditions for this coming weekend, great care should be taken.

The sheets of ice that formed 2 weeks ago have been covered by at least a metre of new snow that has fallen in the past few days. Some of this ice is still bare on the crest of wind blown ridges. Under these conditions, avalanches can occur not only on steep slopes, but almost anywhere you see a drop.

I have received warnings from the   Federation of Andalusian Mountaineering and Safety Program of the National Park. They warn of high avalanche danger in the mountains during the next few days, especially as the weather conditions are now improving.

The mountains are dangerous at the moment. Be very careful or better still leave it a few days before reviewing the situation. If you want any up to date information, advice or help, please contact us using the “Contact Form” above
