At the entrance to the Picos de Europa National Park, La Hermida is a must for all climbing enthusiasts, the village offering several via ferrata routes for all levels. These adventures are accessible on your own, but it is best to be accompanied by a guide so that you can enjoy the routes in complete safety, with all the necessary equipment and advice to help you get over the obstacles in your path with confidence. That is what the Canoe Aventura Trophy team is offering you with this experience, combining the El Milar via ferrata and the Escalera al Cielo via ferrata, 2 not-to-be-missed courses in the Picos de Europa!
Each of them takes around 1 hour to complete, and each has its own special attraction: the El Milar via ferrata overlooks the Deva River in La Hermida Gorge, while the Escalera al Cielo via ferrata features an impressive 50-metre-long suspended ladder. You will enjoy some superb scenery throughout the experience, all the while having fun on the different workshops on each route, between rungs and steel cables, and even a 25-metre-long zip line crossing the Deva River at the end of the El Milar via ferrata!
La Hermida is undoubtedly THE destination not to be missed if you want to go via ferrata in the Picos de Europa. Halfway between Potes and the Atlantic coast, the village is very easy to get to, so there is no reason why you shouldn't join the Canoe Aventura Trophy guides on this adventure combining the El Milar via ferrata and the Escalera al Cielo via ferrata!
