Taxis to the Resort

Alto Campoo is in the municipality of Hermandad de Campoo de Suso, 24 kilometres from Reinosa, and there is no public transport that goes up to the slopes every day. If you reach Reinosa by train or bus, or if you prefer not to drive the mountain road in snow, a taxi is the practical way to cover that last stretch. The resort itself publishes on its website a list of valley taxi drivers who do the service.

The telephone numbers the resort publishes

These are the taxi drivers who appear on the resort's page, under the names by which they are listed:

• Agustín Cuevas: 630 666 622
• Javier: 651 172 405
• Carlos: 629 468 572
• Carlitos: 658 917 074
• Pedro: 619 304 299
• Pechus: 685 322 253

They are independent professionals, not a resort service, so each sets his own availability. Neither the resort nor they publish fixed fares for the ride up: ask the price when you book and, if there are several of you, how much the whole journey costs, to be split between everyone.

How to organise it

Call in advance, especially for weekends with good snow, public holidays and school-break weeks, when most people go up. Agree the pick-up time for the way down at the same time: the slopes close in the afternoon and, if you do not fix it in the morning, there may be no taxi free at the last minute. If you are taking your own equipment, say how many skis or boards you have so that the car has room.

Reinosa is the natural meeting point: the trains and buses from Santander and from the plateau stop there. You can also ask to be picked up at your accommodation if you are sleeping in the valley, for example at the Puente Romano complex, at the foot of the resort, or at the SNÖ Hotel La Corza Blanca, in Brañavieja, five minutes from the slopes.

What to do once you are up there

With 23 slopes and a 2.7-kilometre cross-country circuit, the resort offers a whole day: see the Alto Campoo ski resort listing and the one for the snowpark. If you do not ski, you can go snowshoeing or go up on the chairlift to the Tres Mares viewpoint. For eating at the foot of the slopes there are the resort cafés.

For the state of the road, the slopes and any question about the day, the resort answers through Infocantur, on 942 310 708 and by WhatsApp on 690 600 825. If you end up going by car, see the Calgosa car park.

On the way, 5 kilometres from Reinosa, you can stop at the source of the Ebro at Fontibre.
