PR-CV 381 ALTO DE ALCOLA

Promoter: Ayuntamiento de Cofrentes

Certification status: No quality controls

0 reviews

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.

Route description (only available in Spanish)
El sendero comienza en la Plaza de España, frente a la Oficina de Turismo hacia la Ctra. N-330 dirección Ayora, a la salida de la población se toma a la izq. un camino asfaltado que nos conduce al puente sobre el Xuquer, lo atravesamos y se sigue un camino de tierra, paralelo al Río, hasta salir a otro asfaltado que lo cruzamos en el paraje de la Butaya.
Tomando la pista al frente nos elevamos y en el próximo cruce, se toma la pista de la Izq. dejando la de la derecha que es la Variante 1 que se describe aparte.
Siguiendo la pista de la izquierda iremos paralelos al camino a la Central Eléctrica de Embarcaderos la cual pasamos a cierta altura, hasta un cruce con la pista de cemento que viene de la Central.
Seguimos recto y la pista empieza a serpentear para ganar altura, con espectaculares vistas de los Cañones de los embalses pasando por la Fuente de La Teja.
Cuando avistamos el impresionante valle de Sácaras en lo más alto de la pista, por la derecha aparece en un cortafuego la Variante 1.
Seguimos por la pista en dirección a Sácaras, poco más adelante cruzamos el Barranco de Sácaras y ascendemos para encontrarnos con el sendero GR 7 que viene desde el Puntal de Sácaras.
