Description
Looking for an outdoor program that will take your breath away? Then this hiking trip in Cantabria is ideal for you.
The Collados del Asón Natural Park is situated in the Cantabrian Mountains, in northern Spain. Some of the characteristics of this beautiful natural area are its limestone outcrops and beech woods. This is where our program will take place.
I invite you to explore this magical setting through the Laberintos del Asón route. As its name suggests, this route offers a labyrinthine tour across the natural park. We’ll begin and end our trip in the Parking Collados del Asón and spend around 5 hours walking. While hiking, we’ll have the pleasure to contemplate the gorgeous panoramic views this area has to offer.
Although this program is technically easy, consider that it is important to be physically fit. We’ll cover a distance of 12 kilometers with an elevation gain of around 600 meters.
So, does this hike sound exciting? Then do not hesitate to send the request to book your place. I’ll be glad to guide you around this incredible park in Cantabria.
Additionally, you can take a look at this trek that I lead in Picos de Europa National Park, also in the Cantabrian Mountains.

Mountain Leader
Picos a Vista is led by Francisco González, a professional climbing and mountain guide as well as an alpine ski instructor, born and raised in Cantabria. His home mountains, especially the Picos de Europa, were his playground in adolescence and the place where he discovered his passion for the outdoors in all its forms.
With decades of experience, Francisco has explored mountain ranges and climbing areas across Spain, the Alps, and far beyond — from Yosemite and Squamish to Greenland’s remote fjords. His background as a versatile “all-terrain” adventurer allows him to guide safely and confidently in rock, snow, and mixed terrain, always with the aim of sharing the joy of the mountains with others.
Whether leading a technical climb, a scenic trek, or a ski descent, Francisco combines deep local knowledge with a love for exploration, creating unforgettable and authentic mountain experiences.

What people are saying about Picos A Vista
Benedik
I booked a tour with Fran to Urriello summit in Picos de Europa. It was an amazing experience and Fran helped me to tick another box in my bucket list. He took best care of my security whilst I was able to enjoy climbing one of the historic routes - still impressive what people dared to do about hundred years ago. I also learned a lot about climbing history in the area and met a guy who is really passionate about what he is doing. He is a great climbing guide and on top of it a great guy to get along with. Much recommended!

Fran was an excellent guide, couldn't recommend him highly enough. He as patient and supportive to all members of our group.
We had a great time climbing in Picos!!
We had a great time with the two-day route through Picos de Europa. Our guide Fran has given us a treatment that goes beyond the personal... he has taken care of us, he has taught us lots of tricks, he has made us overcome this physical and psychological challenge we were facing and he has made us fall in love with Picos when we saw it with his eyes. The experience has been so incredible that I am sure I will always remember it. Thank you so much for everything Fran!
