Are you an experienced hiker, and do you like a challenge? Then the Challenge Risky Roca Route is a good option for you!

The Challenging routes
Via the beach and the suburbs, you will head towards the mountains, where your climbing skills will be tested. Enjoy the beautiful mountainous nature reserve just north of Marbella and the picturesque village of Ojén to the south. On the narrow rocky paths, you can only walk side by side with two people at the most, so you can focus all your attention on the trees and plants along the way, not to mention the beautiful vistas towards the coast and inland. After experiencing this natural paradise, you walk back to the Walking Village via the suburbs and the city centre.

What you need to know
These route go through rough nature: there is minimal signage, and the checkpoints with the associated services are only in inhabited areas again. To ensure the safety of hikers, there are volunteers in the mountains and SOS team, who be the helping hand if necessary. Since this is a more challenging route than usual at our M4DW event, you must sign a disclaimer. Also, the start is early, between 7.00 and 7.30 am, to ensure you’ll be back before 4 pm. You can choose theses Challenge Route of around 22 kilometres after paying the difference at the Registration desk.
