The majestic Sierra de Bèrnia, with its 1,128 metres high, is an impressive giant that dominates the landscape of Altea from the north, offering the closest vertical kilometre to the sea of the entire Iberian Peninsula.
Walking its paths is not only an adventure for nature lovers, it is a unique experience where you will discover the incredible biodiversity, the fascinating history and the legends that surround this place. Bèrnia acts as a natural border between the Marina Alta and Marina Baixa regions, inviting you to explore an environment full of beauty and mystery.
Experience the adventure of connecting with nature, history and the charm of Bèrnia like never before!
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE ROUTE👇
Bèrnia’s hole
Narrow tunnel excavated in the limestone rock of about 20 m, and less than a metre high, which you will have to crawl through.
Natural balcony with breathtaking views of the Marina Baja
From this spectacular horizon open to the sea you can admire a vast expanse of the Marina Baja that offers you a privileged panoramic view: to the left, Altea, Sierra Gelada, and Benidorm; to the right, the imposing peaks of Puig Campana, Ponoig (The Sleeping Lion) and the Sierra de Aitana.
The ruins of Bèrnia’s fortress
Another of the jewels of the route: The Fort of Bernia, built on the southern slope of the sierra in 1562 by order of Felipe II with the aim of preventing new revolts by the Moors, such as the one that occurred in 1526, and to defend the coast from attacks by Barbary pirates.
