カロセラの峠・トップ5

The Aralla Pass is a mountain pass located in the province of León, Spain, at an altitude of 1,536 meters. It is crossed by the LE-473 highway and connects Aralla de Luna (municipality of Sena de Luna) with Geras (municipality of La Pola de Gordón). It has an average gradient of around 7%, with no steep but steady slopes, generally classified as a second-category cycling pass. The climb offers beautiful views and can be combined with routes to the Arbás Valley and Villamanín, although some roads may be in uneven condition. At the summit, there is a monument in memory of the victims of the Civil War, highlighting the figure of Captain Rodríguez Lozano, who was shot in 1936. The area is popular for motorcycle tours and hiking, with several restaurants and local products such as cured meats in Geras and Aralla. In winter, the road is often impassable due to snow and snow removal service is poor.

This mountain pass has been used as the final stage in several editions of the Vuelta, and is notable for its toughness in the final part, with very steep slopes that have tested many cyclists. The steep gradients in the final kilometres, which in some sections reach more than 20%, make La Camparona a feared and decisive mountain pass in the race.

The views from this hill are well worth a stop to enjoy a mountain landscape with a beautiful beech forest.

Located at an altitude of 1,493 meters, Collariondo offers magnificent views and the possibility of taking a detour to climb Cellerón (1,544 m). An ideal place to take a break and eat something to recover energy.

Nice panoramic rolling along the Camino de la Cuencha with views of the town of Cubillas de Arbás and Pico La Brazosa standing out in the background.

Beautiful picture while we roll along the track that leaves Puerto Aralla (1,536 masl). The track runs halfway up the slope with beautiful views of the Sierra Peña La Cueva. An ideal place for mountain bike lovers. If we roll in the direction of Puerto Aralla, we will have a magnificent panoramic view of Pico del Castro with its antennas.

The Alto de la Camparona is located at 1,066 meters above sea level. It is worth going up and observing the spectacular views that open up to us from the mountains of León. A good time to take a break and enjoy the panorama before continuing with our route.
