Somiedo Narural Park and its Villages Guided Tour from Oviedo

Our journey begins at the breathtaking Alto de la Farrapona mountain pass, a high-altitude gateway into Somiedo Natural Park. Here, you'll be treated to stunning panoramic views of the rugged Asturian landscape and may even spot wildlife from the specially designated bear-watching viewpoints, a highlight for nature lovers. From this scenic location, we’ll embark on a peaceful hike to Lago La Cueva, a glacial lake nestled in a dramatic mountainous setting, offering a picture-perfect moment in nature.

After immersing ourselves in the park’s natural wonders, we’ll shift our focus to the cultural richness of the region with a visit to the Somiedo Ecomuseum. This engaging museum reveals the traditions and history of the area, including transhumance practices and the iconic “teito” huts with their distinctive thatched roofs. You’ll gain insight into the lives of the local mountain communities and their deep-rooted connection to the land.

We’ll then take time to wander through the village of Pola de Somiedo, where the pace slows and the charm of Asturian rural life takes center stage. Finally, we’ll make our way to La Peral, a picturesque hamlet known for its panoramic views. From the Mirador del Príncipe, you’ll enjoy one last unforgettable vista of the valley—a perfect way to end this blend of nature, heritage, and breathtaking scenery in the heart of Somiedo.
