This variant is a more demanding itinerary than the main route, but it allows us to reach the highest point in the municipality, Alto de Alcola, while completing a circular route.

Cortafuegos de Sácaras (firebreak) - Alto de Alcola. Morrones (peak) – Antenas repetidor (repeater antenas) – Barranco de la Cueva Negra (ravine) – La Butaya (plot)
Desde el PR-CV 381, remontamos el exigente cortafuegos de Sácaras hasta el camino de subida al Alto de Alcola donde está el vértice geodésico de Morrones y el punto de vigilancia. Volvemos al cruce para seguir hacia las antenas del repetidor y continuar la bajada. A la altura de la cabecera del barranco de los Arcos tomamos un camino a la derecha que desciende paralelo al barranco de la Cueva Negra. Más adelante, enlazamos de nuevo con el sendero principal.
Beware! Navigation devices may fail, batteries may run out of power and devices may break down. Do not use only electronic means to track your activities in the mountains; they must be used as a complement to the map and compass. Get some proper training and enjoy the mountains.
Warning: Given the difficulty of this variant, it is recommended to follow it clockwise, as shown in this route description.
