The Camino de Schmidt takes its name from the Swiss mountaineer Eduardo Schmidt, a founding member of the Club Alpino Español that spent much time during the early 1900s charting trails through the Cordillera Central. This is a popular hiking route linking Puerta de Navacerrada to the Fuenfría Valley in a gradual descent through pine forests.
To reach the trailhead, follow the markers from the lower chairlift. The trail is well marked along the way. It takes a good afternoon to reach Cercedilla, with occasional glimpses of the town along the way and exceptional views of the surroundings from the high point of Puerto de la Fuenfría, the old Roman pass.
From Cercedilla, the narrow-gauge train can be ridden back up to the top in a little under 30 minutes. Trail maps are available and guided excursions can be arranged at the resort headquarters of Deporte y Montaña in Puerto de Navacerrada.
