The Fuente Dé’s Cable Car: | Leisure & Pleasure

There is a corner in Cantabria, in the heart of the Picos de Europa, where you can almost touch the sky. This is Fuente Dé, a town belonging to the municipality of Camaleño, in the region of Liébana, yes, the monastery of Santo Toribio. The Fuente Dé Cable Car transports the traveler in just four minutes to a mountain landscape, almost 2,000 meters above sea level.

The Fuente Dé's cable car
: Do you dare to touch  the sky?

The online ticket sales system has recently come into operation with the option to reserve a time slot to access the facility, so it will no longer be necessary to queue to touch the sky.

The sensation of nature in its purest form reaches magical levels here. And riding the cable car will undoubtedly be an experience that will captivate the little ones. Because the experience of “crossing” the clouds with the Picos de Europa as a landscape is incomparable. The cabin is glassed and stable, the journey is short and not scary.

Does it impress? Of course. But that’s the magic of this plan. Once you get up and as long as you don’t have vertigo, I encourage you to look out at the impressive Cable viewpoint , a balcony into the void that flies over the mountains. What child wouldn’t like to live this experience? Once there there are numerous hiking routes that run through the central massif. For example, those that take you to the Puertos de Áliva , an area of pastures in the heart of the Picos de Europa where walking is a real pleasure.

In addition , the Áliva Hotel has already opened , located in the heart of the Picos de Europa, a few kilometers from the upper cable station. It is a family accommodation surrounded by mountains, meadows and a unique and wonderful landscape to regain strength in its restaurant enjoying traditional dishes from the Liébana region .

This season there will be some changes in its operation . Thus , access to the establishment , both for guests and luggage , will be from Espinama in the hotel vehicle . Those who wish to use the Fuente Dé cable car to walk down to the hotel must notify them at the time of booking so that they can be included . Indicate the procedure to follow to leave the luggage in Spain for transfer to the Áliva Hotel when possible .
