How booking a Picos de Europa trip works

1 · Choose your side first

Fuente Dé, Covadonga and the Cares gorge are hours apart by road. Pick one before comparing tours.

2 · Check road access in season

Private cars are restricted on some roads at busy times. Check whether a tour includes the shuttle.

3 · Check the weather terms

Low cloud can hide the peaks and close the cable car. Read refund and rebooking terms.
