카브랄레스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

In front of this summit cross crowning the heights of La Viorna, the following thoughts from Pope Francis – who died on Easter Monday this year – may be helpful to those who linger on the summit after the climb: "In the Resurrection of Christ, each of our destinies finds its place in the infinite horizon of eternity. Only from his death and resurrection does the certainty arise that nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God [as the Apostle Paul writes in his Letter to the Romans, chapter 8]. From this great hope comes every other glimmer of light with which we can overcome life's trials and obstacles. And not only that: the Risen One also walks with us and becomes our companion, as with the disciples on the road to Emmaus."

Cross of Viorna. From the summit, situated at an altitude of 1,151 metres, you can see the eastern massif of the Picos de Europa, the villages of Mieses, Argüébanes, San Pelayo, Brez; some houses in Tanarrio, Mogrovejo and, travelling along the summit, you can also see the monastery of Santo Toribio de Liébana, the roofs of Congarna, Beares, Redo and Bodia, in the municipality of Camaleño.

A varied tour with a box seat view of the southern Picos in Spain: This circular hike does not run through the Picos de Europa itself, but it has everything that makes a hiker's heart beat faster in Cantabria: Comfortable, wide paths alternate with short, steep climbs on narrow paths, sometimes it goes through sparse forests, sometimes the eye can hardly get enough of the views. The whole thing is spiced up with two small ponds that invite you to have a picnic along the way, a small, Stone Age megalithic tomb and the (albeit barely visible) remains of an Iron Age settlement. The brilliant highlight of the tour is the Pico Jano. From the almost 1,500 m high summit and the subsequent short ridge hike, you can look out over the entire south side of the Picos de Europa, the Liébana valley and to the south over the Cantabrian divide as if from a box seat.

Peña Oviedo, a modest summit with views of the mountainous surroundings of the Camaleño valley. Starting from Mogrovejo, the route runs along wide, well-paved trails, mostly through forest areas. The best thing is the panoramic views that we will enjoy as we gain altitude.

Great vantage point! Can be reached on foot by hiking along the Rio Duje.

You only need to go a little off the beaten path to reach the top. It is not an imposing mountain in itself, but it offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Picos de Europa...if the clouds allow it.

La Cruz de la Viorna is located at 1086 meters above sea level and given its large size it can be seen from kilometers away. It can be reached either from Potes or from La Vega and you can combine it with the ascent to Pico Jano.

The top of Peña Oviedo rises above 1,300 meters above sea level and offers unparalleled views of the entire interior of the Picos de Europa Park, a wonderful place. The last few meters are quite demanding but even if you have to push the bike, don't hesitate to do it!
