Trail Reviews
The ascent, and the descent, from the Laguna Negra to the beginning of the route to the source of the Duero River and Picos de Urbión can be complicated, especially from km 2,300 to 2,500. It's a zigzag climb. See the profile of the route. A firm step and proper footwear is required.
circular route I would classify it as family-oriented, in fact I have met quite a few children of about 14 years of age, the only difficulty is in the first 400 m, going up and down, the rest is a walk without much incline, although the last 100 m before the peak Urbion are a bit tricky with so much rock and unmarked trail, but nothing complicated, The views are spectacular and it is worth visiting the lagoons
