A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Super cool place . This is the oldest ski resort in the cantábrica mountain Range,but does not mean outdated. One brand new cable car put you to the top part of the ski runs un less than 10 minutes. Super cool atmosphere”
“Easy to get to, with an amazing mountain drive up. Lots of car parking, completely free. There is a large carpark as you enter, a further carpark higher up next to the cafe and rental station and street parking between. All free It cost around €20 for a day pass and times are 10am to 4pm. The booking office is in the lower carpark. If you want to hire like we did then you will need to walk up the hill past cafe to the hire shop. Costing around €25 for ski’s, poles, boots and helmet. I would recommend parking in the hire car park as they don’t have lockers or anywhere to store your belongings or shoes so you would need to walk all The way back down to your car and back up again. Wish i knew this prior as was a but of a faff! Cafe is perfectly located at the bottom of the slopes and lots of room inside. Prices were average and they had an amazing hot broth drink called “Hay Caldo”. They added a little white wine to it and it’s absolutely delicious.”
“A small resort but for a few days skiing it's perfect. We were lucky and not many other people were there and we loved it. We'll definitely go back!”
“Very good road access. Nice slops, but no slope for absolute beginners”
“Was our first time skiing in Asturias... VERY helpful staff and great prices! Will definitely come again!!”
“Nice little resort with ski hire, parking and café all close to the main lift”
“Super nice station to learn and have so fun, especially if you live in Portugal! Near and beautiful!”
