I am stunned my friend. This looks and sounds spectacular! Absolutely spectacular work!

That's super kind of you to say. So happy we got there the week before summer holidays started. By far one of the best hikes of 2023 we had the pleasure to do

A correction: The elevation gain is roughly 300m only and it is located just at the start (or end) in Poncebos. Once you ge to the highest point (Los Collaos) and after a slight descent, the rest of the trail is practically flat. If you want to do trails with bigger elevation gains, there are several of them that can be accesed from this trail, but they are only for the experienced mountain hikers.

Only 300 meters ?? Come on ... get your info. right !!!

[@somebody702]

what is the name of the village mentioned here that you can also reach with train ?

[@planetlenz]

The villages name is Bulnes, definitely worth seeing either by train or hike

[@prf7237]

Is it exposed? Dangerous?

[@planetlenz]

Its an easy walk. the path is pretty wide however there is nothing stopping you from going over the edge other than common sense. As long as you don't drink a full bottle of whisky , anyone will be fine. Some areas might give a sense of vertigo if you go to close to the edge.

[@prf7237]

@@planetlenz how many sections are of it is vertiginous? 1km, 2km? I suffer with vertigo.

[@planetlenz]

@@prf7237 more than half has a steep shoulder, but the path is wide enough that you can stay away from the edge. Im not the biggest fan of hights myself, and I was OK. It's an absolute must do hike if your able to go visit the area
