Description

Anillo Picos de Europa. Trek in the western massif of Picos de Europa.

The purpose of this project is for the National Park to become better known. Within a historical context, the “Anillo” (Ring) of Picos de Europa covers the Montes Vindios, known today as Picos de Europa.

Everything in this route in Picos de Europa is spectacular: the rocky crests, the gorges, the valleys, the vast glacial lakes, and the leafy forest. You can rest assured that you’ll be amazed at everything you see.

Every stone found on the wayside by people who wish to venture into the Ring amasses many different stories; many will be rescued from oblivion thanks to the National Park shelters and wardens’ work.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Sleep in the National Park Refuges and Talk with the wardens
  • Hike a stunning landscape affords unique views in the heart of the Picos de Europa
  • Experience a breathtaking part of the scenery of this National Park.
  • Hike through the stronghold of the last Cantabrian tribe that fought against the Roman troops.
