This variant allows you to climb to the summit of Benicadell (1,105 m), skirting the rocky escarpments and visiting the icehouse (17th century). An intense path, full of zigzags that gives you a magnificent view of the Vall d'Albaida and the Comtat.

Route description (only available in Spanish)

Desde la pista que viene de la casa forestal de Planisses iniciamos el ascenso por una senda por la cara norte del Benicadell. A medio camino encontramos el enlace con el PR-CV 222 y el PR-CV 184 y el desvío para visitar la nevera del Benicadell. Después de visitar el nevero regresaremos a la senda y retomaremos el ascenso. Pasaremos por un collado donde se encuentran los restos de una construcción. Desde aquí, treparemos por el roquedo hasta la cumbre del Benicadell. Este tramo final es una cresta amplia en la que deberemos de tener precaución ya que no está exenta de riesgo.
