A fourth way to climb Sierra Bernia from the South up part of the old mule track of the Camino de Jalon with a superb view from “Rock Gate” col near the top. Possible detour to climb the spectacular peak of Severino. Seductively easy for the first hour along forest tracks. Then steep up the Camino Jalon mule path to the ruins below Severino. Level track to a small plateau above the “Cave House”, followed by another steep mule path to “Rock Gates” col, (possible ascent of Severino. Described later) and then right to the Fort. From the Fort a new (2010) path leading down to the Picnic Area. The 40mins down the surfaced road to the cars could be avoided if enough cars were prepositioned at the picnic area.
