The route starts in Cangues d'Onís/Cangas de Onís, from where you set off in the direction of Sebares.
This first section has been marked out on dirt and gravel tracks in good condition, although a variant has also been included on local tarmac roads for bicycles with thin tyres. Before reaching Sebares, take the junction that leads to the Collado Moande pass (666 m) along the local As-339 road, a quiet, narrow, winding road that takes you into a green environment of native forests until you reach the pass where the Ponga Natural Park begins.
From Collado Moande we descend to Cazu and from there to Sellañu with an increasingly steep mountainous landscape in the background. From here, the route runs parallel to the river Ponga through the gorge carved by the river, until it reaches the crossroads that provides access to Sobrefoz. This section is uneven and bumpy at times, which improves in the area around the village of Abiegos, and runs through a gallery forest which, in the clearings, reveals the village of San Xuan/San Juan de Beleño, which we will pass through in the next stage. Continuing along the road, which is actually more of an asphalted track, you reach the Foz del río Ponga, a forerunner of the small village of Yanu, and arrive at Sobrefoz, in the heart of the Natural Park.
