Enjoy walks in the beautiful Picos de Europa
Enjoy walks in the beautiful Picos de Europa
The Picos de Europa, the third-highest mountain range in Spain, is a region of dramatic limestone peaks and lush valleys. Carpeted in beautiful wildflowers in spring, this area is also known as Green Spain. The terrain, tranquillity and inaccessibility make the Picos a walker’s paradise. Chamois, griffon vultures, golden eagles and many other species are regularly seen. Seen less are the bears, wolves and boars that roam the wilds here. We base ourselves at the family-run Hotel Torrecerredo, positioned in the heart of the region and offering panoramas of the highest peaks from its bar and restaurant.

There can be snowfall in the Picos as late as May, and the area is subject to rain at all times of the year (although this typically falls in the evening and rarely affects the walking). From early June to early October, the weather should be very pleasant for walking, though it is rather unpredictable and mists can come in from the coast. Those wishing to join the Picos departures at the beginning and end of the trek season should go prepared for cooler weather. In early June and late September, there may be snow on the upper reaches of the trek.
This trip is Activity Level 3 (Moderate) with five walking days.
The walking is varied and spectacular, with superb scenery at the higher levels.
Over the course of the week, we tackle two classic gorges and one peak in each of the three massifs in the Picos de Europe. Most of the walking is on shepherds’ paths, disused mining paths and some sections of Roman roads, although final ascents can be quite rough underfoot.
We will be walking mountain paths throughout, and this trip is not advised for severe vertigo sufferers or those uncomfortable with steep drops.
The majority of the trip departures are Level 3 (Moderate). However, we also offer a selection of departures as Level 5 (Challenging), if you wish to ascend the higher peaks. It is important to be assured of your fitness on these departures.
As in all mountain ranges, the weather is unpredictable and this may affect several walks. With changeable weather, it should be expected that on rare occasions higher-level walks may not be available. Your leader will always try to find a suitable alternative.
By accepting our offer in writing, you/you confirm that our terms and conditions have both been read and understood and that cancellation fees may apply if the trip is cancelled.
