PR-CV 232 EL RETONAR - MONTAÑA DE NIEVE

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Torremanzanas

Certification status: No quality controls

1 review

There is no proof of quality control on the record of this trail in the last years. For this reason, it is unknown whether it complies with the optimal signage and maintenance conditions for hikers to take the trail following these signs exclusively.
Hikers have to take into consideration that the information about the signage and maintenance of the trails for which the promoter entity is responsible might not be up to date anymore, since it refers to its state on the date of its approval. Furthermore, mountain sports entail risks associated with the activity itself and the environment where they take place, for which any person is fully liable. For this reason, hikes need to be planned properly and adequate training, equipment and sensible use of the trails are required.

This route runs through part of a mountainous area of great ecological and scenic value. On its slopes there are holm oak formations. In its surroundings you can find the cave paintings of the Sarga shelter, the Iberian settlement of Puig and the ice well of Rentonar. There are magnificent views from its highest point.
