Itinerary description

This track starts about 4km beyond Font Moli just North of Finestrat. The route follows well defined tracks to Ponoch Ridge where the path along the ridge is much fainter than the official marked route (which is what we use on the descent). The ridge path is marked with red spots and from it you will get some good 360 degree vistas. At the waypoint "drop" the is an exposed scramble down which is not made easy by the fractured nature of the limestone. A rope will give extra security - but we did it in April 2010 without one. Once past the "drop" there are no other serious obstacles. On the summit you will be treated to views from Santa Pola to Ibiza. The route down Ponoch uses the official route (marked with yellow & white flashes) - but it has some loose stoney sections. From the col the return route passes through the Partido Realet which provides stunning views of Campana and Els Castalets

    En rigtig flot tur .. gik dog forkert og kom i helt ud på enden … da det bleve for svært/ farligt.
    Man skal følge stien bagom så går det fint.
