You start above treeline with cold air sharpening the view: Mulhacén’s rocky crown to the north, a scatter of silver pines and the first white villages clinging to sunlit slopes below.

Layer for big temperature swings
Start with warm layers you can strip; mornings at altitude are cold while valley afternoons warm quickly.
Watch for loose gravel
Many sections are dirt road with loose scree—brake early and use controlled, steady pressure.
Protect against sun and wind
High-altitude UV and drying winds make sunscreen and windproof outer layers essential even on cool days.
Respect wildlife and terraces
Keep distance from ibex and avoid stepping on historic acequia walls; stay on designated tracks.
Helmet
Provided by the operator but bring your own if you prefer a custom fit.
Cycling gloves
Protect hands on long descents and improve grip on gravel sections.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Support and protection for pedaling and short walks over rocky terrain.
Sunscreen & sunglasses
High-altitude sun is strong; protect skin and eyes during long exposed descents.
