The Trail to the Lakes of Covadonga is a road cycling route that immerses you in the majesty of the Picos de Europa National Park. As you ascend, the landscape transforms from dense forests to expansive mountain meadows, culminating in the serene waters of the glacial lakes of Enol and Ercina. It's a visually stunning experience, with terrain that demands effort but rewards with spectacular views and the feeling of having conquered one of Spain's most iconic climbs.
This challenging 28.3-mile (45.6 km) route with 4402 feet (1342 meters) of elevation gain will take you approximately 2 hours and 54 minutes. Please note that access to the lakes' road is usually restricted for private vehicles during the summer months, so it's advisable to check regulations before planning your trip. This ensures a more peaceful and safer cycling experience, free from regular traffic.

It includes legendary sections like "La Huesera," with gradients reaching 16%, putting your endurance to the test. It is one of the best road cycling routes in Asturias, Spain, and an opportunity to follow in the footsteps of professionals in an environment of natural and historical beauty.
