Description

Join me on this incredible adventure across the Tres Macizos in the Picos de Europa. Stay at an authentic shepherds cottage, and summit Sagrado Corazón on this 3 days adventure.

Our hiking adventure will take us through the Sierra del Cuera, which dominates Llanes. Also, it is one of the best viewpoints of the Picos de Europa and the Cantabrian Sea.

On the first stage of our trekking trip we’ll explore enchanting shepherds folds, learning about their traditional lifestyle. Even though this was an area once brimming with shepherds, nowadays, only a few dozen of families remain, mainly producing the famous Gamoneu cheese. Furthermore, we will stay at an authentic shepherds cabin. So we’ll get to recover our energies sitting by the fire and enjoying an exquisite meal.

Then, next day we’ll venture to the heart of the Central Massif as we reach the summit of the highest point at Sierra del Cuera. This area is famous not only for its beauty, but for the production of the Cabrales cheese.

Finally, on our third day, we’ll head back to our starting point, as we enjoy the most incredible views of Picos de Europa. What’s more, we’ll discover a unique mining scenery. And we’ll get to stand at the top of the Sagrado Corazón peak, standing at 2,220 meters approximately.

The first day of our trip, we will trek four about 13 kilometers and the second about 8 kilometers. The hiking routes we’ll take are quite easy. And we’ll do it at a comfortable pace. Hence, this program welcomes everyone, even beginners.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
