The drive from Potes up to Fuente De is amazing, a steady climb , up great and well maintained roads through some beautiful scenery. It is a great run for cars, motor bikes and cyclists. Ample parking at the base point of Fuente De with café and bar. The cable car was E22 each ( Sept '23), and in our view worth it to take the trip up the plateau to some amazing views where you can wander, take one of the designated walks, or simply have a beer , wine or coffee at the café at the top overlooking the valley. You are truly amongst the heights of the mountains here. Well worth a visit , glad that we did it, and a highlight of our trip.

An epic trip on the cable car takes you up above the tree line into a rocky moon like landscape. There are lots of high mountain walking routes some leasing up to the glacier (but you need to be fit as it is much further than it appears). There is plenty to see within short walking distance including alpine flowers, animals and even encircling cultures. An unforgettable experience. Take plenty of water and energy snacks, wear sturdy boots and take waterproofs. A hat and sunscreen are essential as it can be blisteringly hot up there. Not recommended for young children as the going can be tough in places. Book your timed tickets in advance as otherwise you could be waiting for hours to ascend.

The Teleférico Fuente Dé is an awe-inspiring aerial lift line located in the heart of the Picos de Europa National Park. As you ascend, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of the rugged landscape, with a dramatic elevation gain of 753 meters in just 4 minutes. Here’s what makes this experience truly remarkable. We arrived early in shoulder season to avoid the long lines and wait times. Once we arrived in the upper station, we were greeted by an immense panorama of natural beauty. You can soak in the grandeur of the peaks and valleys. It’s like standing on the edge of the world! We didn't get to do any long hikes due to the weather, just around the top near the station, but the views were breathtaking. We highly recommend for a wonderful experience in the Picos de Europa.

My favorite thing in the whole world is seeing different mountain ranges in our travels. The sight of towering grand peaks never gets old and breathing fresh air never fails to relax. If you find yourself in Asturias, don’t miss Picos de Europa, one of the underrated national parks in Spain. The area is so green with stunning blue lakes, charming villages to visit and of course, fabulous food. Enough said, just look at the spectacular pictures.

Its a very busy cable car and you need to go early (opened 10am) and not peak days. We pre-booked tickets but it didn't matter, had to join queue anyhow , booked for 10am, arrived 9.45am and got cable car about 10.30am. Not much at top, poor cafe and shop and toilets (we had low cloud so no view) then a decent 1km walk to viewing point above, where the track then splits for those going to summit nd those doing the P24 walk of 14km back down to car park. 14km walk down it a challenge, frst 5 km all mountain side then quick stop at hostel for refresh and stunning views, sign post are then broken so bare right at cross roads below. Down thru fields of sheep and horses, and guard dogs who want you to stay away, then over small bridge into forest. Its a proper walk / clamber from then on in almost rain forest type environment so quite tough. Overall its only worth doing if you're doing the walk, nothing up there for kids

Deliberately came on a Monday morning in September as we heard it gets busy. Parking was really easy and we pre booked online. The lift is actually quite small but spectacular. The views on the way up and at the top were great and the highlights on the walk back down along with the animals we saw and the coffee in the hotel on the way. Take poles with you to help with walking downhill all the time!
