El Cable is the top station of the Fuente Dé cable car. The mechanical device is a kilometer and a half long, overcomes a drop of 750 meters in four minutes and leaves passengers at an altitude of 1,820 meters. The views are spectacular. In summer and while the mountain is snow-free, there is the possibility of walking up from the Fuente Dé car park through El Hachero, a dizzying path along an old mining road that ends at the balconies of El Cable. And there is also the option of the Canal de la Jendunda, which is a huge gutter on the left wall (west) of the great wall that forms the natural circus of the source of the Deva river. In winter these routes can be complicated by snow or ice and the best option is to use the cable car service to start the mountain crossing on the edge of the high Cantabrian mountains. In this case, check the schedules for the return.

The Mirador del Cable is located right next to the upper station of the Fuente Dé cable car at an altitude of 1,847 meters. It offers panoramic views of the peaks closest to the central massif of the Picos de Europa, the Liébana Valley and the Cantabrian Mountains.

You can take the bus from Potes to Fuente De. Just arrived at the lower cable car station you can either decide to take the cable car which takes you up by 750 m in 5 minutes, or hike one of the existing hiking paths. The view from the top is worth it.
