The Orange Route: Virgen de las Nieves is a free hiking itinerary in Sierra Nevada, of low difficulty, perfect for those who want to walk without haste and enjoy the high mountain landscape without great effort. It is a free access route, without the need for a ticket or guide, ideal to do it autonomously following the signposted route.

The route is located between the Borreguiles area and the Hoya de la Mora, advancing along the well-known Camino del Agua until it reaches the monument to the Virgen de las Nieves, inaugurated in 1968. The trail runs along the Borreguiles road and crosses several tracks, offering a comfortable and panoramic route, with a very accessible high mountain environment.

One of the great attractions of this route is its very gentle slope (approx. 3% in the return section to Borreguiles), which makes it an excellent option for those looking for an easy hike. In the initial section, the trail offers an outstanding panoramic view of the Barranco de San Juan, in the heart of the Sierra Nevada National Park, and in the vicinity you can see the astronomical observatory Mojón del Trigo, providing a plus of scenery and interest to the environment.
