Asturias is known for its diverse hiking options. Whether you are an experienced hiker or a beginner seeking adventure, you will find the perfect option here. Starting with the impressive summits of the Picos de Europa, or exploring the protected areas of Somiedo, the options are endless.

Asturian Mountains: A whole world to discover

One of the most notable characteristics of these mountains is their diversity in elevation and landscapes. The Picos de Europa are home to peaks like Torrecerredo and Naranjo de Bulnes, which reach altitudes of over 2,500 metres above sea level, offering exciting challenges for mountain climbers and stunning panoramic views.

There is also Sierra del Sueve, with the emblematic Picu Pienzu, which offers more moderate elevations of 1,159 metres and is known for its impressive views of the Asturian coastline.

As well as their beauty, these mountains play a fundamental role in the conservation of biodiversity and protection of the local ecosystems; many species of flora and fauna find refuge in these mountainous environments.

Therefore, when exploring these mountains, it’s essential to do so with a deep respect for nature and following responsible hiking practices.

Here, you will find a list of the trails that will take you through the lush forests, serene valleys and impressive peaks. The most notable routes are:

Picos de Europa: This is one of the most emblematic areas for hiking in Asturias. It offers many routes with different levels of difficulty, from soft hikes to challenging climbs up to peaks.

One of the most popular routes is Urriellu (Naranjo de Bulnes), which rewards its hikers with spectacular panoramic views.

Somiedo Natural Park: Known for its scenic beauty and biodiversity, this natural park is perfect for hiking. The Ruta del Valle de Lago is one of the most notable and takes you through picturesque towns and mountainous landscapes.
