Description

Calling all rock climbers to Spain! Join me on this 1 day adventure rock climbing the Peña de Fresnidiello!

The Peña de Fresnidiello is located in the Picos de Europa (meaning “peaks of Europe”) in Northern Spain. Only located 20 kilometers from the coast, the region is home to many beautiful landscapes and animal species, much of which you will get to see as you rock climb way up on the Peña de Fresnidiello.

The Peña de Fresnidiello is a vertical and limestone climbing wall within the serene Picos de Europa. As a climber, you will be able to scale about 315 meters, giving you a breathtaking view of the surrounding scenery, such as the valley of the river Duje and nearby mountains.

This excursion is only offered for 1-2 participants at a time, which gives you plenty of hands-on help from a local guide! The climbing route has a difficulty level of V+, so please be aware of this when signing up.
Request to book this trip if you have always wanted to rock climb in the Picos de Europa!

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!
