Important information: In case there is snow and the ski slopes are enabled during the fall and winter season, it is not allowed to walk on the ski slopes, although on some occasions and with great caution we will have to cross some tracks, we will not walk directly on these, therefore, we will make a zig zag to join the route. We must consider that this increases the difficulty of the trekking, since we will not walk along an established path until we reach the Portezuelo Franciscano (3,600 meters above sea level). The beginning of the trekking will be done from the urban area of La Parva at 2,800 meters above sea level, since the parking area of the Bike Park of La Parva is not enabled.
