"Went to meet Zeus & Co. Found only hordes of hikers and few climbers, to which we added a count of 3 😆
4 (of out 52 🤦♂️) summits: Skala, Mytikas (or Pantheon, and the highest), Skolio, Agios Antonios.
Family walk to Skala, then single push to Mytikas and exit via loop. I guess I was so excited, that even forgot to sign in summit registries 😆
Haven't seen the refuge's sleeping quarters, but based on glances at the dinning and common rooms, I'd say it's the cleanest and largest alpine hut/refuge I've ever seen.
PS: coming from Canada, who would guess that Greece mountains have snow in it, eh 😆 spikes would've been handy." — alexp • Oct 10, 2025
"I hiked with my son through the peaks of the Sierra Nevada with the intention of bivouacking and spending the night on the highest mountain in the Iberian Peninsula.
These altitudes are a fairly inhospitable territory, with only a few snowfields, mountain goats, and a sun that burns your skin.
We carried food and water for two days in our backpacks, but this time we hadn't acclimatized, and this took its toll, especially on Mulhacen, where we had to stop for air every few steps.
We took a shortcut through Paso de Los Guías, which is equipped with chains, but in my opinion, I wouldn't do it again without a harness and safety rope, because one mistake and you could fall into the void.
At the summit of Mulhacén, we found a shelter made of rocks and lit a fire with some pieces of wood to help keep us warm.
On the morning of August 12, after a freezing night in which we saw several shooting stars, I was able to photograph the sunrise from the summit, but it wasn't as impressive as I had hoped." — franciscobirruezo • Aug 11, 2025
