Traverserina Picos de Europa

About this event

The Traverserina Picos de Europa takes runners through one of Spain's most dramatic mountain landscapes in Cabrales, the heart of Asturias. Set in the limestone peaks of the Picos de Europa National Park, this June event navigates rugged terrain where steep climbs meet technical descents, and ancient shepherd paths wind through alpine meadows. The area is famous for its striking vertical walls, deep gorges, and traditional mountain villages. This is a challenging route suited to experienced trail runners comfortable with demanding elevation and technical sections. The mid-summer timing means long daylight hours and the chance to spot chamois on the high ridges, though weather in these mountains can change quickly.
