The Ring of Peaks
115 km, 3 massif, 9 shelters … An authentic route through Picos de Europa Official dates from 1st June until 15th OctoberA historical route through
Within a historical context, the “Anillo” (Ring) of Picos de Europa covers the Montes Vindios, stronghold of the last Cantabrian tribe that fought against the Roman troops. This tribe was known as the “Vadiniense” and it sought refuge in the mountains of the Cantabrian Mountain Range, known today as Picos de Europa.
Every stone found on the wayside by people who wish to venture into the Ring amasses many different stories, and although it is impossible to tell all the stories, many will be rescued from oblivion thanks to the National Park shelters and to the work of the wardens.
Ver ItinerariosOne ring, two rings, three rings …
The “Anillo” of Picos de Europa has three modalities, the first of them is known as “El Anillo Vindio” (The Vindio Ring), which covers the western massif, the second “El Anillo Extrem” (The Extrem Ring), which apart from covering the western part would also cover the central massif, and finally “El Anillo Tres macizos” (The Three Massif Ring), which would cover all three: Western, Central and Eastern..
Each one of the stages always departs from a shelter or collaborating accommodation and ends in another. The advantage of the Ring is that one does not necessarily have to start in any specific place.
