San Isidro: Holiday Apartment, Mountain Trails and Winter Sports

San Isidro: The San Isidro ski and mountain resort is located in the Cantabrian Mountains within the Picos de Europa Regional Park. The San Isidro winter and mountain resort opened in 1974. For planning your trip, you can consider the mountain landscape, trails, winter sports and historic traces as separate focal points.

When comparing a holiday apartment in San Isidro, you can compare travel dates, room category and cancellation policies as separate offer fields. Organize the destination topics separately by trails, winter sports and history before matching the accommodation details against your own planning questions. The information about the holiday apartment concerns the respective offer, while trails, winter sports and historic traces form the subject areas of San Isidro. This allows the accommodation decision and daily interests to be considered separately alongside one another.

Nature and Trails

The Camino de Wamba begins at the Puente de Wamba in San Isidro and leads 5.3 km one way to the Collada del Acebal; the walking time is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

The El Praíco recreational area is located in the immediate vicinity of the starting point of the Camino de Wamba; the PR-LE 26 hiking trail to Lago Ausente begins there. The trail to Lago Ausente also begins at the Puerto de San Isidro and leads to a wetland of glacial origin in the regional park.

In the surroundings of the Puerto de San Isidro, a recreational area is located beside a stream descending from the pass, providing access to ascent routes to the Ausente and Ubales lakes.

You can compare the trails by their starting point or destination and classify the specific walking time for the Camino de Wamba separately from the descriptions of Lago Ausente and Lago Ubales.

Winter Sports

The authorized winter sports training center “Escuela Española de Esquí San Isidro” in Puebla de Lillo offers training in alpine skiing and snowboarding.

Alpine skiing and snowboarding can be considered as a separate winter focus alongside the trail descriptions and natural attractions.

Culture and History

San Isidro and Puebla de Lillo formerly had hospitals for pilgrims on the Northern Way of Saint James between Oviedo and León. Today, these former hospitals are only memories and ruins.

The historical trace of the Northern Way of Saint James thus stands as a separate subject area alongside today’s trails, lakes and winter sports offerings.

Orientation

In nearby Puebla de Lillo, the Casa del Parque “Valle del Porma” provides information about visitor organization and the public infrastructure of the regional park, including marked hiking trails, recreational areas and viewpoints.

The San Isidro resort is accessible from León via the LE-332 and from Asturias via the AS-253. You can consider these two approach routes separately for your own trip planning, depending on whether you are arriving from León or Asturias.

The FEVE railway station in Boñar is 35 km from the San Isidro resort.
