After enjoying their summer walking holiday with us, the Waddy family returned to the Picos to learn ski touring in their Easter break.
Welcome to The Picos de Europa,
your complete English guide to these beautiful mountains of Northern Spain.
Here you'll find information on the area's wildlife in the nature pages which are part species identification guides on plants and animals found around the Picos de Europa and part English translations of Spanish news regarding rare species such as the Cantabrian brown bear or threats to their habitat such as the San Glorio ski resort project. Check out the special interest holidays too, such as bear-watching and birdwatching.
Find a friendly place to stay in Picos Holiday Rentals from our selection of self-catering holiday houses and apartments to let in Asturias, Cantabria and Castile-León.
For planning excursions into the mountains you'll need to check current weather conditions and forecasts for the Picos de Europa.
And in Picos Rock & Snow you'll find guided mountain activity holidays such as walking and trekking, snowshoeing and ski touring - plus trip reports as well as general mountaineering information. Catch up with the latest expeditions in the Picos Blog. Independent travellers can find trip packages, support and bag transfer services for self-guided routes.
We hope you enjoy your visit to the Picos de Europa, whether virtual or real!

Following a few weeks of ski touring and a week of snowshoeing, these photos are of the last week in Feb. this year, kindly sent by Oliver, from his third trip with us.
In July 2018 Fiona, Sam, Robert and Zara combined a guided hut to hut trek in the central and eastern massifs of the Picos with a self-guided route, the Liebana Skyline. We're looking forward to seeing them again in the winter for ski touring! Here are some of their lovely photos.
