Pueblos Altos de Gamonéu- MTB/electric
Cycling route
Length: 28 km : 28 km : Difficulty: Very difficult : Difficulty level: 1.235 m : Climbing: 1.235 m : Type: Circular
Itinerary: Benia – Demués – Gamonedo – Intriago – Grazanes – Sirviella – Benia
A very tough route that becomes a game if you handle the electric MTB well.
But even so
has its difficulty, especially for the steep descent from the village of Sogaedo to the bottom of the valley where impressive specimens of Chestnut and Oak have resisted the passage of time.
When it has rained the concrete track can be very slippery, so it is difficult
stand and more if the bike is very heavy (as is often the case of the E-BTT).
But on sunny days it is an exceptional route with spectacular views of the Picos de Europa and the Sierras de Cuera and Sueve.
Once back to civilization in Llanu de Con (in the council of Cangas de Onís), you can recharge your batteries in a bar or restaurant before starting the last climb through the tracks of Grazanes and Sirviella, again in the council of Onís.
Landscape: Cheese-making villages in the council of Onís, panoramic views of the Picos de Europa and the Cuera and Sueve mountain ranges.
Deep valleys of Gamonéu with chestnut, oak and beech forests.

Important note: This route includes 3 very steep climbs, one of them with a maximum gradient of 30% that must be done downhill also on a concrete track that can be slippery when it has rained.
NOT SUITABLE for E-biking or MTB beginners.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Bring warm clothes and at least a raincoat or windbreaker type jacket, because up in the high area it can be cold and very often the fog gets in even on days that have started with a completely clear sky.
Also carry enough water and some fruit or energy bar, because there is no bar or restaurant until almost the end of the route, in Llanos de Con and Mestas de Con.
