ルーゴの峠・トップ11

One of the highest points on the French Way of the Camino de Santiago, located between Triacastela and Fonfría, already in the province of Lugo. At 1,335 meters above sea level, this peak offers a natural viewpoint overlooking the Galician mountains. The area is often exposed to wind and changeable weather, even in summer, but the views and the feeling of having reached a milestone more than compensate. There's a hostel/bar right at the summit, useful as a stopping point for pilgrims and cyclists. Dress warmly before reaching the top: the temperature here can drop suddenly, even on sunny days. If you're on a mountain bike or e-bike, make sure you have good traction on descents and that your brakes are checked: the descent towards Fonfría is fast and winding. It's a good place to rest and refill your water or coffee before continuing.

Pedrafita do Cebreiro: a legendary gateway to Galicia on the Camino de Santiago. Between pallozas, fog, and over 1,300 meters of altitude, the pass has been a test for pilgrims and cyclists for centuries. Cyclist's tip: climbing it is tough, but the reward is feeling like you're pedaling with one foot in history.

Path

Beautiful views and rest point.

This is a beautiful 12-kilometer climb with 1,112 meters of elevation gain at an average gradient of 9.3%, with some slopes exceeding 20%. The surface is good, and the views are wonderful.

Area very popular with pilgrims

At the top of the pass there is a small bar where you can stock up on drinks and snacks after the long and steep climb.

The route over the 3 passes is beautiful and the scenery is very impressive. Once you have reached the Ceibero, the other passes are no longer so strenuous.
