Already equipped and ready, we will take the cable car cabin that will take us on a journey of about 4 minutes only to the upper station, saving a drop of 753 meters, and that will place us at an altitude of 1,823 meters at a speed of 10 m/s.
After some basic notions of progression we will begin to walk through the snow towards the lakes of Lloroza, the guide will inform and give explanations about the environment and the different summits that will be in our sight.
From the area of the lakes we will head towards the Canal De San Luis and once at the beginning of this we will begin the ascent to the Collado de Fuente escondida located at 2045 meters of altitude. Once here we will have impressive views towards the Hoyo sin tierra and Cabaña Verónica located under the famous summit of the Tesorero, to our left we will see the spectacular summit of the Torre del Hoyo Oscuro and to our right Peña Vieja with its 2614 meters.
We begin the descent to the Hoyo Sin Tierra, a wild and unfrequented place where we will feel in a pleasant solitude, when we reach the bottom of the Hoyo, we will go up a small slope until we reach the normal path of ascent to Cabaña Verónica, here we will stop to eat something and enjoy the spectacle offered by the views.
Then we will follow the comfortable way back through La Vueltona to the Lloroza Lakes and from here to the Cable Car where it will take us back to the parking lot.

He made me feel safe and confident while climbing, despite it being my first time climbing outdoors. He also takes great pictures!

Hij is heel persoonlijk en legt alles goed uit. We hebben met hem de via ferrata Camaleño gedaan en dat was echt super tof! Doordat we met z’n drieën waren konden we op ons eigen tempo klimmen.

Un estupendo guía que nos acompañó durante el descenso del barranco del Navedo a unos amigos e hizo que disfrutábamos un montón. Además se tomó la molestia de ir sacándonos fotos para poder guardar un recuerdo de la aventura. Lo recomiendo Robert G-B2025-08-23Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.
