Hike in Picos de Europa National Park
Beste Besuchszeit
The best time to come is between June and September, when the trails are free of snow and the weather is stable. For the Cares route, choose the morning to avoid the crowd and the heat in the canyon.
Budgettipps
Entrance to the massif itself is free, you only pay for parking at the entrance to the Cares trail (about 5 euros per day). A cheap accommodation option is mountain refuges with prices from 15 euros per person.

Schnelle Fakten: Wanderer begegnen hier seltenen kantabrischen Braunbären und sehen alte Kalksteinspitzen, die 2.600 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel aufragen. Flüsse haben dramatische Schluchten geformt, in denen Goldadler fliegen und wilde Orchideen blühen.
Highlights: Wanderwege führen durch die Covadonga-Seen, wo Gletscherwasser unter Bergklippen schimmert, die von Jahrhunderten des Wetters geprägt sind. Ein Pfad führt zum Naranjo de Bulnes-Gipfel, einem markanten Monolithen, der Kletterer aus aller Welt anzieht, die seine 2.518 Meter hohe senkrechte Wand erklimmen.
Insidertipps
- Wear trekking boots with good grip, because sections of the trails run over rocky slopes and gravel paths.
- Set off on the Cares trail at 7 in the morning to enjoy views without crowds and in pleasant shade.
- Bring tick spray, in summer they appear in large numbers on the grassy sections of the trails.
- Try the local cabrales cheese served with honey at the refuges, it is a specialty of the region that you cannot buy anywhere else.
