The route
Skiing at the Valle Laciana-Leitariegos Resort
Leitariegos is the resort for a relaxed Sunday: small, cheap and queue-free, less than two hours from León and Oviedo. You ski from 9:15 to 16:30, with a sandwich or the self-service at midday, and then drop down to the Laciana valley for a late home-cooked lunch before heading back. If someone in the group does not ski, there are guided snowshoe walks; if there is no snow, the Vía Verde.
The day, hour by hour
7:15 · Set off. From León or Oviedo on the A-66 to exit 93, then the CL-623 towards Villablino and the CL-631 via Caboalles de Abajo up to the pass: about 110 or 120 km. Bring snow chains or winter tyres.
9:15 · Skiing. The lifts in the lower area open at 9:15 and those in the upper area at 9:30. The day lift pass costs €22 in high season and €15 in low season; €16 and €12 for children. Rent your equipment at Cuetu d'Arbas, at the pass, 500 metres away: a full ski kit costs €15 a day, with a free helmet. Beginners have lessons with the Official School from 11:30 to 14:30. At midday, the resort cafeteria or self-service.
15:30 · Lunch at La Campanona. Drive down through Caboalles and Villablino to Villager de Laciana, about 20 minutes. Home cooking with local produce, with a set menu or à la carte depending on the day. Book ahead: it opens Tuesday to Sunday, always by reservation.
17:15 · Head home. In León or Oviedo around 19:15.
With children
It is a very good resort to start on: green runs, magic carpets and weekend lessons in groups of 5 to 9. In Villablino, Cuetu d'Arbas rents snow clothing and children's snowsuits.
