Cabeza Nevada, Mountain summit in Sierra de Gredos, Spain

Cabeza Nevada rises to 2427 meters between the Garganta de Gredos and Garganta del Pinar gorges in the Central Massif of Sierra de Gredos.

The mountain's glacial formations developed during the Quaternary Period when over 40 glaciers covered the Sierra de Gredos until 11,000 years ago.

The Prado del Cervunal area near Cabeza Nevada features a renovated shepherd's hut that now serves as a mountain refuge for climbers.

Two main climbing routes lead to Cabeza Nevada: one from Navalperal de Tormes through oak forests and another from the more accessible Plataforma de Gredos.

The north slope contains evidence of glacial transgression where an ancient glacier overflowed its right moraine, creating distinct landforms in Prado del Cervunal.
