Discover Llanera

Llanera is a council area in central Asturias, located between Oviedo and Avilés, combining the accessibility of Asturias's urban core with proximity to mountain natural environments. To the east of the council area, the Sierra del Aramo concentrates the comarca's most demanding mountain biking and hiking routes, with summits exceeding 1,700 metres and high meadows inhabited by capercaillies and bears. The Pajares Pass, reachable in less than an hour, extends the winter offer with cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Cycle touring is one of the most popular activities in the area, with routes following rural tracks and minor roads through the central Asturian council areas among granaries and stone villages. Horse riding is part of the local equestrian tradition, with local companies organising rides through the meadows and Atlantic forests of the council area. The local trail network allows exploration of the territory combining forest sections with villages of Asturian rural architecture.

Best time to visit

Practical tips

For routes in the Sierra del Aramo, weather can change quickly even in summer: bring warm layers and a waterproof even if you set out in sunshine. The damp Atlantic ground makes tracks slippery at any time of year.
