Fredes: High-Mountain Landscape, Hiking Routes and Culture

The GR-7 stage E25 from Fredes to Vallibona passes through Fredes and is 20.40 km long.

For your personal planning, the named start, destination and route length are three separate points of reference. When comparing holiday apartments in Fredes, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions side by side on the respective listing pages. The three fields give the comparison an objective structure before you weigh up additional personal criteria.

Landscape and Peaks

Fredes is situated in a high-mountain landscape of great natural value. Encanadé is a peak in the vicinity of Fredes. Hereu is a peak in the area around Fredes. Mola de Pinell is a peak in the area around Fredes. The three peak names can be read as separate points; the different spatial descriptions help you categorise the landscape precisely.

Hiking and Trails

PR-CV 75.1 “FREDES – PANTÀ D'ULLDECONA (PEL PORTELL DEL INFERN)” is a 6.76 km-long hiking route with an estimated walking time of 4 hours and 10 minutes. The Valencian section of the GR 7 is designated “FREDES–EL PINÓS/PINOSO”.

The Ruta de los 7 Pueblos features major differences in elevation; good physical preparation, suitable equipment and experience with activities of this kind are therefore recommended.

To compare hikes, you can consider the distance, estimated walking time and differences in elevation as separate details side by side. The names of the trails and their differing details provide several points for discussion when planning together if not all travellers have the same priorities.

The named trails can therefore be viewed from different perspectives. When making a joint selection, the route length may be given a different weighting from the stated walking time; the information about differences in elevation forms another independent point. The designations GR 7, PR-CV 75.1 and Ruta de los 7 Pueblos also distinguish the different trail options rather than grouping them under a single collective designation.
