From the start at La Bovia, the path begins a gentle ascent that gains height amidst native vegetation. Oaks, chestnut and beech trees accompany the first stretches, as you advance towards Campa El Tretu, a plain dotted with pastures where the landscape begins to open up generously. From here, the views are wide open, showing the valley in the background and the mountains silhouetted on the horizon.

The path continues ascending up to the Campa Cimera, a valley which marks the natural boundary between the councils of Mieres and Laviana. At this point you will find one of the most outstanding elements of the route: a viewpoint with an interpretative mural, from which you can identify an extensive panoramic view which includes peaks such as Peña Mayor, the Sierra del Sueve, the Redes massif and, on clear days, even the Picos de Europa. The view also extends over the council of Laviana, with its scattered villages and the terrain broken by the mountains.

From the Campa Cimera, you can choose to continue towards the Pico Tres Concejos, the point where the limits of Mieres, Laviana and San Martín del Rey Aurelio meet. The peak, with a gentle but strategic profile, offers a privileged vantage point over the three councils. As an alternative or complement, it is possible to take a detour to the nearby Mirador del Valle de Turón, which offers a more secluded view over the valley and its rural villages, nestled between hillsides.

The descent is made along the same path, allowing you to rediscover the panoramic views from another perspective and thus closing a route that combines landscape, natural heritage and the administrative geography of the Asturian mountains. A simple route, but rich in contrasts and visual amplitude.

Basic tips before going into the mountains

  • Avoid approaching livestock.
  • If you find mastiffs protecting livestock, do not approach them, do not pet them and do not feed them. Do not allow them to follow you or stray from their herd. They are working.
  • If you go with a dog, always keep it on a leash.
  • Don't leave a trail. Collect all your waste, including organic waste. Nature is not a dumping ground.
  • Act with prudence. Plan your route well, take everything you need and make sure it is adapted to your physical capacity.
