Valgrande-Pajares Ski Resort

Valgrande-Pajares is an integral part of Asturias’ sporting heritage. Located in Lena, beneath the Pajares mountain pass, the resort has been linked for decades to Asturian skiing and the direct bond between the mountains and those who have learned to enjoy them in winter. It is not a vast, impersonal complex, but a true mountain resort with a distinct Cantabrian character—a place where snow, wind, fog, and clear spells all shape the experience.

Its value lies not only in the slopes but also in the surrounding landscape. Arriving at Valgrande-Pajares means entering a mountain environment that is accessible yet demanding; valleys lie far below, and the scenery shifts rapidly with the changing light and weather. It is a place for skiing—whether you are a beginner, looking to refine your technique, or simply wanting to spend a day in the snow within a setting rich in history.

When the winter season ends, the area remains vibrant. Hiking, trail running, cycling, and mountain routes keep the landscape alive, ensuring it does not rely solely on winter. Valgrande-Pajares embodies sport, tradition, and the local landscape: it is a gateway to the high mountains of Lena and to a uniquely Asturian way of experiencing the snow.
