Situated in the Huerna valley and surrounded by majestic mountains, some of which are among the highest in the Cantabrian range, the route from Campumanes is almost 30 kilometres of ascent, of which 18 kilometres, starting at Los Pontones, have significant ramps but only occasionally exceed 10% gradient.
The route passes through the villages of Teyeo, Rospaso and Tuíza in an environment surrounded by forest, mostly oak groves that begin to disappear from the last village to give way to a high mountain landscape, with an impressive view of Las Ubiñas, until reaching the summit at an altitude of 1,683 metres.
Its great length, its route with twisty areas linking horseshoe bends, the majestic landscape that progresses from oak forests to rugged rock with the altitude, give this route an alpine air on a par with the great stages of the Tour de France, and without doubt one of the most beautiful cycle touring routes in the central area of Asturias.
In winter the road may be closed due to snow, so it is important to find out before starting the ascent. Otherwise, the rest of the year there are no access problems and its good road surface, together with the outstanding scenery, make it one of the most beautiful climbs you can do.
