Description

Context The El Milar via ferrata is located in the Desfiladero de la Hermida, Asturias—the longest gorge in Europe, stretching 21 km between Panes and Potes. This 200-meter route ascends 23 meters diagonally along a sheer rock face overlooking the Deva River, set within a natural landscape where wind carries the scent of thyme and the freshness of river mist. ">">The experience Under the guidance of an experienced professional, you’ll climb the via ferrata equipped with helmet, harness, and shock absorber, ascending via iron pegs and a safety line. The route includes direct contact with the rock and culminates in a 25- to 30-meter zip line that crosses the Deva River. As you glide, feel the breeze and hear the river below. Throughout the activity, your guide will take a professional photo report to capture your key moments. ">">For whom This activity is suitable for teenagers and adults aged 12 and over with good physical fitness and basic adventure experience. Not recommended for individuals with severe vertigo or limited mobility due to vertical climbs and technical safety equipment use. ">">Local context The Hermida region blends traditional mountain life with active tourism. Local shepherds still practice transhumance, and visitors can enjoy thermal baths and regional cuisine after the adventure, particularly in the nearby towns of Panes and Potes.
