Cross of Viorna. From the summit, situated at an altitude of 1,151 metres, you can see the eastern massif of the Picos de Europa, the villages of Mieses, Argüébanes, San Pelayo, Brez; some houses in Tanarrio, Mogrovejo and, travelling along the summit, you can also see the monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana, the roofs of Congarna, Beares, Redo and Bodia, in the municipality of Camaleño.

In front of this summit cross crowning the heights of La Viorna, the following thoughts from Pope Francis – who died on Easter Monday this year – may be helpful to those who linger on the summit after the climb:
"In the Resurrection of Christ, each of our destinies finds its place in the infinite horizon of eternity. Only from his death and resurrection does the certainty arise that nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God [as the Apostle Paul writes in his Letter to the Romans, chapter 8]. From this great hope comes every other glimmer of light with which we can overcome life's trials and obstacles. And not only that: the Risen One also walks with us and becomes our companion, as with the disciples on the road to Emmaus."
