El Milar Via Ferrata at La Hermida, Picos de Europa

The longest gorge in Europe, at around 20 km in length, La Hermida Gorge is a must-see at Picos de Europa. You can visit them on foot or by canoe/kayak on the Deva River, but did you know you can also enjoy them on a via ferrata? Thanks to the El Milar via ferrata course, you can go on an adventure climbing along La Hermida Gorge, using rungs and steel cables to follow a path suitable even for beginners (level K2-K3). Get ready for a thrilling adventure and superb views of the gorges from the top of the course!

It takes around 1 hour to cover the whole of the El Milar via ferrata, with its 3 distinct sections: a vertical ascent of around 20 metres, a horizontal passage of around 80 metres, then a final ascent to the summit before descending to the Deva River and crossing it using a 25-metre zip line. This experience can be enjoyed on your own, but nothing beats having a guide along for the ride! You will enjoy this superb via ferrata in La Hermida Gorge in complete safety, equipped with all the necessary equipment, while benefiting from expert advice on how to negotiate the various obstacles along the way without difficulty.

Rather short, but full of thrills, the El Milar via ferrata offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of La Hermida Gorge. Halfway between the Atlantic coast and Potes, it is not to be missed if you fancy a short but memorable activity in the Picos de Europa National Park! And if you want to spend more time in the heights of La Hermida, don't hesitate to combine the El Milar via ferrata with the Escalera al Cielo via ferrata.
