Via ferrata · Intermediate level · With a qualified guide · From €70 per person in a group of 3 · The beginner Camaleño one from €50

A via ferrata is a rock face equipped with steel rungs and staples and a lifeline cable you are clipped to the whole time. The La Hermida one climbs the limestone walls of the Deva gorge, on the Panes to Potes road, and its guide in Liébana classifies it as intermediate level: you do not need to have climbed before, but you do need to be fit and exercise regularly. It is done with a qualified guide, in a group that is only yours.
Pablo Alonso and his support rope
Liébana Aventura is the trading name of Pablo Alonso, a professional guide based in Potes, with the TD2 and UIMLA qualifications and number 1107 of the Spanish Association of Mountain Guides. He has been working in the Picos for more than fifteen years. On the ferrata, as well as the cable you are attached to, he carries a rope to belay you or help you at the passages where it is needed. He decides the timetable according to that day's weather.

The price includes VAT, the guide, all the technical equipment, civil liability and accident insurance and a photo album of the activity. They do not mix you with other customers: the outing is private.
If you have never done a ferrata
The guide himself advises starting on the Camaleño one, at basic level, and leaving La Hermida for the second. It is also the only one of the three with a family rate. At the other end, the Valdeón one, already on the León side of the Picos, is intermediate to advanced and costs €100 to €150 per person depending on the group.
Booking with a guide who has no signal
Write on WhatsApp to +34 657 111 194 or to info@liebanaaventura.com. The guide spends many hours in the mountains with no signal, so WhatsApp is what he answers soonest. The website does not publish the meeting point, duration or minimum age for this route: ask when you book, along with the footwear and clothing you should bring.
