Garganta de los Infiernos Mountain Race 2026
Recommended gear
Technical mountain terrain with trails, streams, waterfalls and high-mountain bridges. Altitude up to approximately 1,500 m.
Trail shoes, hydration vests, trekking poles, waterproof jackets and the rest of the gear you need. Every recommendation is tailored to the race's specific terrain: high-altitude scree in Sierra Nevada calls for very different shoes than a forest trail in the Basque Country.
