From the upper station, you will enjoy gorgeous views over the Picos de Europa mountains and Fuente Dé.

From there, you will enjoy a 3-4 hours hiking experience in Picos with your guide walking the mountain down to the village of Espina on easy routes (15km distance with ca. 1000m negative slope). You will love this hiking experience in this unique frame!
