This is an ideal walk to get to know the Somiedo Natural Park. This park has one of the largest populations of brown bears in Europe, but you will not encounter them on this route. Through the beautiful Valle Del Lagos you walk to the largest glacial lake in Asturias, Lago Del Valle at an altitude of 1580 meters. Along the way, the Teitos, typical stone shepherd's huts with a thatched roof, will certainly stand out.
