Casiopea Picos de Europa
Guided Climbing in Picos de Europa – Cassiopea technical sheet
This road is located in the enclave of Vega de Liordes, an idyllic and isolated place within the central massif of the Picos de Europa National Park and belonging to the Leonese community.
This route is a great classic that should not be missing in any climber’s notebook, given its alpine character, verticality and climbing style. Its 380 m of climbing plus the final 120 m of summit ridge, from where the excellent panoramic view of the three massifs of Picos de Europa with peaks such as Torrecerredo, Torre de Peñalba, Llambrión etc… and part of Montaña Palentina, such as the impressive north faces of Espigüete and Curavacas… make this activity a unique full day of mountaineering.
