The meeting will take place in the parking lot of the lower station of the Fuente De cable car, the schedule will depend on the time of the year and will be subject to the fixed schedules of the cable car. (The guide, once the reservation has been made, will inform the participant of the schedule, how to make the cable car reservation in advance and will provide the location of the meeting point).

Once introduced to the guide, he will provide the necessary material and a previous review and preparation of all the material will be done. Already equipped and ready, we will take the cable car cabin that will take us on a journey of about 4 minutes only to the upper station, saving a drop of 753 meters, and that will place us at an altitude of 1,823 meters at a speed of 10 m/s.

After some basic notions of progression we will begin to walk through the snow towards the lakes of Lloroza, the guide will inform and give explanations about the environment and the different summits that will be in our sight.

When we reach the lake area we will look for a nice and quiet place where we can have a snack and at the same time there will be time to have fun on a steep slope. Afterwards, we will return to the cable car and take a different and easy route similar to the one we took on our way out.
