Route description
Spectacular two-day circular route crossing the heart of the Picos de Europa, connecting the Liébana Valley with the Valdeón Valley.
The traverse begins in Fuente Dé, ascending via the impressive Tornos de Liordes to the isolated Vega de Liordes, a beautiful high plateau surrounded by towering peaks. The trail then descends through solitary alpine landscapes into the Leonese valley, arriving at Posada de Valdeón, where we spend the night.
On the second day, the route follows a less-traveled path of great scenic value, gently ascending toward the Collado de Valdeón, with wide views of the central massif and the Camaleño Valley, before descending through meadows and traditional shepherd huts to close the circuit in Fuente Dé.
A diverse and peaceful traverse that offers one of the most beautiful ways to cross Picos de Europa on foot.
