The soaring mountains, rolling hills and unspoilt coastline of Asturias provide for excellent and very varied walking possibilities. Below is some information on self guided walking, followed by a list of some of the best walks in the region. 

It is very important to take adequate preparation before walking in the area. Take into consideration that this is a steep and precipitous mountainous region with few waymarks and a very changeable weather.

Hotel Posada del Valle we lend and sell maps of the area, and also produce detailed notes for self guided walkers. We have notes for over 15 different self guided walks in the area  which are available to our guests.  As we are walking these routes ourselves, and are in contact with self-guided walkers our notes are continually updated taking into consideration any possible changes.

Hotel Posada del Valle is an ideal base for walking holidays. Because of its location a great variety of excellent walks are within a short car drive from the hotel and some walks may be done starting directly from the hotel. Therefore it is possible to enjoy the great variety of walks the area offers, and select the best walk according to weather conditions.
