Context The Senda del Oso is a 22 km greenway in Asturias that follows the former route of a historic mining railway, winding through deep gorges and dense forests.

The paved surface and mild inclines make the trail accessible year-round.

The experience You’ll ride a Bosch-motor e-bike with effortless assistance, guided by a local expert for approximately 4 hours. Navigate through rock-cut tunnels with a damp, earthy scent, cross hanging bridges over rivers, and pass through shaded zones where the wind carries the fragrance of thyme. At designated rest areas, you can pause to observe brown bears in semi-liberty while the sound of the Trubia River accompanies your journey.
