An unrepeatable experience, with wonderful views, especially to the Cantabrian area that can be seen on a clear day to the sea. Very dangerous with fog, which can go down at any time. And it is also not very advisable to climb it on wet ground or with snow / ice unless you are very expert because a slip is deadly.

Hiking

The small summit platform is surrounded by steep crags that can present problems with ice or fog. It is important to avoid the north face, where the precipices plummet five hundred meters to the ravines where the river Pas rises, the river soul of the Pas valleys of Cantabria. The views cover much of the Cantabrian Mountains, the Basque Mountains and the western Pyrenees. The descent follows the vertiginous ridge in a strong and technical descent to La Pirulera (1,510 m), a pass between Castro Valnera and Torcaverosa.
