4 Days / 4 Resorts" Pass for León and Asturias

The "4 días / 4 estaciones" lift pass for León and Asturias costs €70 for adults and €55 for children, with no difference between high and low season, according to the Leitariegos lift-pass table. It is valid for skiing at the four public resorts of the range: Valle Laciana-Leitariegos and San Isidro, in León, and Valgrande-Pajares and Fuentes de Invierno, in Asturias.

How it works

According to the resort's conditions, the pass includes four days plus one extra day. You have to ski one day at each of the four resorts, and the fifth day can be repeated at any of them; to use that fifth day you do not need to have completed the other four first. It is valid on any day of the winter season in which it is bought, provided the relevant resort is open. The days do not have to be consecutive.

The children's rate applies up to and including age 13; from 14 the adult rate is paid, and at the ticket office they may ask for identity documents.

Is it worth it?

It depends on what you want to do. If you are only going to ski at Leitariegos, no: there the four-consecutive-day pass costs €54 for adults in high season and €39 in low season, and the four alternate days, €61. The pass is worth it if you want to get to know all four resorts in the same season: for €70 you get five ski days spread at your own pace, whereas four single adult days at Leitariegos, in high season at €22 a day, would come to €88.

For children, the pass costs €55; at Leitariegos, four consecutive children's days cost €43 in high season and €33 in low.

Where to buy

The resort sells its lift passes online, on the Nieveleón gateway of the Diputación de León, and at the ticket offices. To buy online and avoid the queue you need a rechargeable €2 card, bought at the ticket office. Lift passes are not refundable, and a lost one is not replaced. The table does not specify the sales channel for the pass, so ask at the Leitariegos resort, on 987 688 104, how it is bought and activated at each resort. The high and low season dates are set by the Diputación before each season.

For planning

Leitariegos is the smallest and most family-friendly of the four: see the skiing at Leitariegos listing for pistes, lifts and hours. If someone in your group does not ski, the snowshoe routes leave from the same resort. To sleep in the Laciana valley, see the La Bolera rural hotel, in Robles de Laciana.
