Pico del Lobo

Pico del Lobo is a high mountain peak at an elevation of 2.242m (7,355ft) above the sea level, located on the border of Castile and León and Castile-La Mancha, in north-central Spain. It’s one of the highest roads of the country.

The road to the summit, located within the Hayedo de Tejera Negra Natural Park, is rocky and gravel. At the summit are remnants of an old chairlift. The slope is very steep, consists of loose stones and becomes even steeper and rocky in the upper part. This trail can be done only a very narrow time-frame in the summer (end of August). The wind is usually quite strong at mountain areas. High winds blow here all year long. Even in summer you can confront with snowy days. Temperatures here in the winter are brutally cold. The road to the summit is a ski-station service road pretty steep, with some sections up to 30%.
