カルメネスの絶景の山頂・トップ6

This tough climb rose to fame during the 2012 Vuelta a España, when the final stretch to the summit was paved. It's almost 26 kilometers long, with a significant amount of elevation gain. The first six kilometers are easy, but from there, things get complicated: gradients of 5, 7, 9, and even 11% await you all the way to the Pajares pass. And this is where the fun begins: the ski resort's paved slopes with gradients reaching 25%. Of course, if the day is clear, the views will reward the effort.

Polvoredo (2007 m) is the closest peak to the city of León above 2000 meters high. Going up from Vegacervera you will gain more than 1000 meters of elevation gain in just 7 kilometers, so get ready for a demanding climb. The climb is constant and with slopes up to almost 40%, which makes the descent along the same path difficult if you are not used to intense hiking. But you can be sure that the effort is worth it - the views are impressive, from the top you can see its neighbor Peña Galicia and all along the way we see the towns of Villalfeide, Coladilla, Vegacervera and Villar del Puerto.

From the top of Peña Grande, located at 1,452 meters above sea level, we have wonderful views to the south where the Peña de Machamedio stands out.

O Alto de los Romeros, is a transit area of the Camino del Salvador. The Cross of San Salvador is a spectacular viewpoint to the Montes de León. Located in a beautiful natural area where it is worth stopping to enjoy the nature that surrounds us.

From this stretch, at almost 1,600 meters above sea level, the views of the Asturian landscape are almost unrepeatable. The panorama offers you green slopes and lines of bluish ridges that are lost on the horizon. In winter you can see some snowy peaks.

Good place for a break, spectacular view in good weather when the sun is shining breaks through the clouds in the morning.
