Enjoy Picos de Europa with your family

Liébana is a destination3 minutes and 40 seconds. It is accessible, safe and varied nature. From riding a cable car to seeing bears (nearby), there are plans for all ages that will ensure the little ones don't get bored.

1. Adventure plans (without danger)

Fuente Dé Cable Car

They love the experience of "flying" 753 meters. Upstairs they can run along the trails and touch the snow (if there is any left). It's safe, fast (4 min) and the views will leave you speechless.

La Hermida thermal pools

Bathing in the river with hot water (free) under the bridge is something you will not forget. The water comes out at 60ºC and mixes with the cold river. Be careful it slips!

2. See animals

Cattle in the ports

Going up to Áliva or San Glorio you will see Tudanca cows, horses and sheep in total freedom. Remind them that they don't touch each other, but seeing them so close is a spectacle.

House of the Doñas and Sotama

HeTresvisoexplains the fauna of Picos (bears, grouse) in a very didactic way. TheHouse of the LadiesIt is a trip to the past to see how people lived before (and it has a stable).

3. Short (and flat) routes

So that they walk without complaining ("how much longer?").

Chestnut grove of Pendes

It looks like a gnome forest. Ancient trees and holes where they can literally get inside.

Potes River Path

Completely flat, next to the river, perfect for throwing stones into the water, watching ducks and running without danger from cars.

Fuente Dé Meadows

Just below the cable car there are huge meadows to run, play ball or have a picnic with views of the rock wall.

4. Fun culture

5. Tips for parents

  • Weather:Always bring warm clothes (fleece) and change, even in August. In the mountains it cools down quickly.
  • Meal:In Potes there is everything (pizzas, hamburgers) if the stew is too thick, but encourage them to try the borono.
  • Road:The La Hermida Gorge has curves. If they get dizzy, give them something before entering.
