EL PUERTO - PEÑA SALGADA ROUTE

El Puerto - Peña Salgada route

Route type: Circular

Distance: 7 km

Duration: 2h 45min

Elevation gain: 450 m

Activity: Snowshoes and ski touring

Difficulty: Low

This is a very short and simple route through a wide valley, with spectacular views in every direction. It has very good access, low difficulty and little risk. It is a perfect route for the start of the season, for taking less experienced friends or for enjoying an outing when you do not have much time.

The route leaves from the northern part of El Puerto heading east, along a very wide path that leads to the La Bobia col.

It runs north-east following the PR-AS 16 to the Putracón col, leaving Peña Blanca to the south. From here you can see the climb to the summit of Peña Salgada. Peña Salgada is part of the Sierra del Robezo and gives spectacular views of the surroundings, from El Cornón to Peña Chana and other lower valleys in the Sousas area.

The descent is by the same south-west side used to reach the summit. As it is a broad slope, you can choose the easiest line or other variants depending on the conditions.
