San Glorio – Collado Llesva pass
Snowshoeing in Picos de Europa
This beautiful snowshoeing route will delight us with breathtaking views over the valley of Liébana, the three massifs of the spectacular Picos de Europa and the wild and grandiose Cantabrian Mountains.
This is a low difficulty route suitable for children from 10 years old, in which we will enjoy a wonderful day in snowshoes and in which we will be able to observe unprecedented views throughout its route.

We leave the Puerto de San Glorio already equipped by a gentle slope to reach the Collado de Llesva where there are stunning views of the three massifs of the Picos de Europa N.P. and much of the Cantabrian Mountains. At this point the guide will explain the environment and the impressive peaks that surround us, we can also take some pictures next to the Bear carved in stone that presides over a small hill next to the pass of Llesva.
