Embark on a truly epic road cycling adventure through the heart of Asturias with the Collada Llomena and Amieva Loop. This difficult 31.2 miles (50.3 km) route plunges you into the vibrant green scenery of the Ponga Natural Park, winding through steep-sided gorges before the relentless climb of the Collada Llomena. Expect continuous inclines and high altitudes, with breathtaking glimpses of the Ponga mountains and the Picos de Europa National Park from viewpoints like La Collada. It's a demanding ride, but the majestic views of the Sierra de Amieva make every pedal stroke worthwhile.
Planning your ride requires attention to detail. This challenging route, with its 6279 feet (1914 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 3 hours and 36 minutes. While the road surfaces are generally good, be prepared for potential short-term closures due to snow during winter months. Always check local conditions before you set out to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience on these formidable Asturian climbs.
The Collada Llomena and Amieva Loop stands out as a premier road cycling route, having gained prominence by featuring in the Vuelta a España. This inclusion solidifies its reputation as a significant and challenging climb in professional cycling, offering a demanding alternative to more traditional routes. It's an excellent option for experienced cyclists seeking world-class opportunities and dramatic, mountainous landscapes in the renowned Asturian region.
