Hi all, we did this route on Tuesday, 7 March, and while we found the way up slightly challenging with the steepness and the snow/ice on the broken Roman road it was very manageable.
The shock came when we reached Fuente de Fuenfria which looked like a snowy wonderland … delightful at first but then quite treacherous as the deep snow went on and on and on … possibly 8-10 kms of very difficult walking … we were using poles and gaiters but no crampons.
We had checked various sources before heading off and all indicators were that the path would be manageable.
We are so grateful to have arrived in Segovia unharmed and as we looked back up toward the mountains over the next two days ( we had a rest day in Segovia for IWD & to recover from the trauma) it appeared there was much more snow being dumped.
Just sharing this to ensure others remain safe on their camino.
