A walk through the heights from Villabellosa
The active tourism proposals do not stop from Villabellosa, this time due to the heights, with all the security. If in summer canyoning in the neighboring valleys of Jerte and La Vera is the star activity, along with canoe routes, throughout the year we have the possibility of visiting the most spectacular natural viewpoints in the neighboring regions: on foot, by bicycle or by vehicle, we can “go up to see the views”, an expression that here takes on a special dimension. With mountains and peaks elevated far above their surroundings, we will be hypnotized wishing to be one of the great birds of prey that glide above us.
Not only routes between viewpoints through the surrounding towns, and from the rural house itself, but also unique places with a great history and a special energy: ancient remains, Roman sites, ancient ravines,… Discover a thousand places to visit.
If you really like adventures, prepare your sports clothes and your minds for a session of rock climbing in the neighboring Cabezabellosa climbing area, like gliding over the sea, or in the boxed-in Alagón Valley, next to the Valdeobispo dam, or on the Hervás Greenway, places that will allow you to take the first steps progressively, like a baptism adapted to any level to get to know the modality and the deep sensations that rock climbing offers us. With all the necessary material, with all the safety of updated techniques and qualified staff with extensive experience in teaching rock climbing and other adventure modalities, fun and relaxation after the adrenaline rush are guaranteed.
If you want to get started in the incredible experiences of traveling through rocks and climbing up and down peaks, with extraordinary safety and on an adapted route, we offer you the possibility of visiting the Vía Ferrata de la Muela in the municipality of La Garganta: a tour of two large granite masses, with impressive views of the Sierra de Béjar and Candelario, with a continuous lifeline using a steel cable, stainless steel steps and cute bridges hanging between needles. Using the appropriate material for this, and with the company and assurance of a qualified guide with extensive experience, you will discover the technique to progress along via ferratas and rappelling with the safety of the material and a guide. If we add to this the approach route we assure you of an unforgettable experience in an unforgettable place.
In both cases, both for the rock climbing activity and for the Via Ferrata, a minimum physical fitness is necessary, being able to walk through the mountains on unstable terrain. Don’t worry if you have never tried it, it’s about experimenting and getting to know the places where it is done, the material used and the most appropriate techniques in each case. The guide will help you progress safely and enjoy the experience.
