Refugio Postero Alto (Routes 29, 31)

This refuge makes a very convenient start-point and is ideally placed to access the first northerly 3000m+ peaks of the Sierra Nevada. It lies at the foot of the Picón de Jérez at 1900m and is good for accessing Barranco del Alhorí, the northern Sierra Nevada, and indeed the ‘Los Tres Miles’ Integral (Route 31).

The refuge is open at weekends and during fiesta holidays (Easter, Christmas, New Year); otherwise there’s a winter quarters that is always open and available. Facilities include a canteen, bar, hot water plus heating in all rooms. Sleeps 64.

It’s affiliated to the Federación Andaluza de Montañismo, which has reciprocal rights with the major European alpine clubs (see above). Reservation in advance is essential and can be done online at www.refugioposteroalto.es/reservar/

A useful service offering transfers from Jérez del Marquesado to the refuge in 4WD vehicles has recently started: www.refugioposteroalto.es/traslados-en-4x4/
