Night snowshoe route in Las Ubiñas-La Mesa

An unforgettable experience you'll remember forever. We'll begin the route from the Cuitu Negro summit, the destination of the Vuelta a España cycling tour. This is the highest point in Asturias accessible by car, this time thanks to the modern Pajares gondola lift (at an altitude of 1.862 m).

Description

There we will begin our nighttime snowshoe hike, where we will make short stops to observe the sky, the stars, and the moon.

Accompanied at all times by specialized guides, the experience will allow you to soak up the sunset over the Ubiñas – La Mesa Natural Park and immerse yourself in the home of the brown bear, the Iberian wolf, and the last Cantabrian capercaillie, the emblem of the season.

As this is a beginner's level, children aged 7 and over who are used to hiking, people who want to try a winter mountain activity, and lovers of nature, nightlife, and the landscape in general can participate.
