A wind farm located high in the Omaña mountains, with turbines visible from several valleys and accessed via wide mountain tracks. An open, windy area with sweeping views over the region; a blend of traditional landscape and industrial presence, creating a striking contrast for those exploring the area. A great spot to add to your Komoot itinerary as an elevated viewpoint or ridge walk, always along wide forest tracks with no technical sections. Ideal for a short break and observing how the surroundings change with altitude.

Technical section popularly known as the Corridor of the Bear by the most fond of mountain biking. Eminently for livestock use, and with sections of steep slopes, we will have to set foot on land at some point while we crown successive hills. The views of the Barrios de Luna reservoir are great.

Impressive views of the mountains of the Cantabrian Mountains from the La Raya pass located at an altitude of 1,522 meters where the well-known path from Abelgas to Mallo runs. The terrain should not cause us any difficulty if we ride a BTT.

If we ride in the direction of the Nuestra Señora de Carrasconte Sanctuary, we will surely have to land on a steep climb but it is worth it to link up with the sanctuary and enjoy the path up to it.
