The milestones lead through uncomfortable terrain to the usual ascent path along the normal route of the mountain on the south face, from the town of Las Salas, marked with yellow paint on the rocks. The trail turns to the left and reaches the crest of the mountain, in a fantastic natural balcony of the Riaño Mountain, the fjords of the reservoir, the León peaks, the Picos de Europa and some peaks of the Palentina Mountain. The climb to the main summit of Las Pintas continues along the ridge towards the east, climbs a couple of simple climbs with a vertiginous atmosphere and culminates at the geodesic vertex. The descent returns along the same path, crosses the hill and continues along the rope towards the Pico del Medio (1,958 m), formed by two summits separated by a small gap. On the main summit there is a metal cross painted red.

Alto de Las Pintas, also known as Peñas Pintas or Peña de Salamón, is one of the three peaks that form a spectacular limestone trident in the Montaña de Riaño y Mampodre Regional Park in León. It's a challenging but highly rewarding route for mountain hiking enthusiasts.
