Join me on this 2-day Pico Cabrones (2553 meters) guided ascent, one of the most emblematic peaks of the Picos de Europa National Park!
Located in between the Principality of Asturias and the Province of León, Pico Cabrones can be found in the central part of the National Park.
We will meet in Pandébano, at 1153m. Reaching the summit of Pico Cabrones will be totally worth our efforts: at 2553 meters its spectacular circular views will blow your mind!
The Regil brothers were the first to reach the top of this Spanish beauty in 1958. My proposal is to safely guide you to the summit of Picos Cabrones by following the same route these adventurous brothers followed back in 1958.
With a maximum level of IV, our 2-day adventure is definitely not for beginners as some parts of the route will require a lot of attention. It is mandatory that all participants are in great physical condition.
If you want to join me on this guided one-day ascent, request to book this trip!
If you wish to join me in another adventure in Picos de Europa National Park, you can also join me on this Pico Madejuno (2513 mt) guided ascent.

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.

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!
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
