The Urdón - Tresviso route is a challenging but incredibly rewarding hike in the Picos de Europa. You'll immerse yourself in the stunning Urdón gorge, with its rocky walls and river, before ascending steep and rocky paths that lead to spectacular panoramic views, such as those from Balcón de Pilatos. The final destination is the picturesque and isolated village of Tresviso, a place that seems frozen in time.
Prepare for a considerable effort; this 9.4-mile (15.2 km) route with 3286 feet (1002 meters) of elevation gain is classified as difficult and will take you approximately 6 hours and 41 minutes. Good physical fitness and sure footing are essential, as there are exposed sections and the ascent is constant. It's not the best option if you suffer from vertigo or are hiking with small children, but for experienced hikers, it's a gem.
This historic trail was an old mule track, crucial for connecting Tresviso to the outside world until relatively recently. The reward of reaching the village is not just the view, but also the opportunity to taste the famous Picón Bejes-Tresviso cheese. It is one of the best routes to experience the wild nature and culture of the Picos de Europa.
