ソミエド国立公園のおすすめライド

The pass is now paved and can be driven on by car.

During the mining era, this pass served as a discreet link between mines on either side, and minimal traces of old cart and mule traffic remain, though they don't coincide with the current road. From above, the wind is almost constant, and the view towards the Saliencia lakes has that air of a "natural viewpoint" before the term even existed. It's perfect to mark on Komoot as a key point on your route due to its spaciousness, its somewhat hidden history, and its character as a natural border.

A series of limestone geological thrusts rise above Arbeyales. The waters of the Murias stream have carved an impressive gorge that is one of Somiedo's greatest natural monuments.

The view toward the village of La Peral is very beautiful if the weather is good. Slow down your bike a little and look up for a few seconds.

Beautiful port with very very hard climbs on both sides.

Impressive views, both for Leonese lands and Asturian lands. The climbs on both slopes are very difficult, but spectacular, and are worth it.

Up to 16% climb on this section, also be aware of traffic in both directions, especially during high season.

Good restaurant with nice outdoor terrace on the cycle route El Valle / Valle del Lago. Be aware of the Asturian size lunch portions (pictured the starter for one person) so make sure you're very hungry or order less. After lunch roll back home downhill ;-)
