Course of events

Meet your instructor at the activity base for this Via Ferrata excursion in Picos de Europa National Park. Organized according to age and ability, choose from one of three routes that traverse La Hermida Gorge. Suited to anyone with a head for heights, this activity starts off with a quick safety briefing and a few practical tips before you clip into the safety line and start climbing.

Following your guide on a route that traverses up to 700m across the rock face, no previous climbing experience is necessary – using iron pegs, handy ladders, and guidelines to help you cross the gorge – a huge footbridge that’s suspended over a 100m void! Once you have completed the circuit, you will return back to the base to swap stories and catch your breath.
