PEDRIZA (Guadarrama National Park)
- Ascent to the summit of the Helm: it's like the route offered in the mid-level part, but with the addition of the ascent to the summit of the Helm by a canal, which will require us to take technical steps to raise and lower it.
- Route to the Torres de la Pedriza: we will leave from Cantocochino, we will take the highway, We will leave the refuge on our left and continue climbing until we reach the quiet Mirador, In this area we can see the posterior Pedriza and the other area of the Guadarrama National Park where the famous Cuerda Larga route passes. We will make a small climb to the Torres highest point of La Pedriza. We will return to the Mirador pass and return to the starting point through the PR-1 that crosses the highest part and where we will descend several channels in which we will find several technical steps.
- Circular to La Pedriza: (recommended in two days) Circular route that runs through the upper part of La Pedriza, a paradise located in the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, in which we will skirt the whole of it and pass through most of the best known points of La Pedriza. Without a doubt the best way to get to know La Pedriza as it has incredible views, passageways and labyrinths areas, technical steps, shag. You can plan to bivouac or sleep in the shelter. Hard route where we'll get in tune, due to the leg breakers that we will find in the frequent ups and downs.

- Circular to Peñalara summit: ascension route to the highest peak in the community of Madrid and the Sierra Guadarrama National Park, Peñalara peak 2428 meters, with wide views for both Segovia and Madrid, for its place that is most similar to a high mountain in the Sierra. We will leave Puerto de Cotos on the way to the Zabala refuge, from here we have a good climb to Hermana Menor, we will continue along the ridge until reaching the summit in Peñalara. The descent we will continue towards the Risco Claveles, where we will find an air passage, We will continue descending to the height of Laguna de los Pájaros where we will change direction and head towards Laguna Grande, from where we will take the way down to the starting point.
