Discover What You'll Experience on This Adventure

Imagine boarding a tram that no longer exists, yet whose echoes still resonate among the trees and ravines of Sierra Nevada. This route brings back the historic railway that, for decades, carried travelers from Granada to the heights of the mountains — a feat of engineering and romanticism that defined an era.

Today, we follow its traces on foot or by bike, passing forgotten stations, silent viewpoints, and paths that once held rails. It’s an experience that blends history and nature, perfect for those seeking more than landscapes — they seek memories.

Each season gives this journey a unique character:
🌸 In spring, the forest blooms and birdsong accompanies every step.
☀️ In summer, despite the heat, the river’s freshness and tree shade make the ride surprisingly pleasant.
🍂 In autumn, the landscape transforms into a warm palette that takes your breath away.
❄️ In winter, the mountains dress in charm and silence, creating a magical atmosphere for reflection.

The route is gentle and accessible, ideal for any time of year — especially in spring and autumn, when the forest transforms and the air invites exploration. It’s not just a trail: it’s an emotional journey through the Sierra that few know, but everyone should feel.

The mountain offers many ways to travel. Pick the one that feels like yours.
