Our activities are suitable for the young, active, sporty and the environmentally conscious tourist. All of our offers aim to promote the development of non-urban zones, respect for nature and the conciliation between life and sustainability.
The Pas Valleys are located in a unique landscape, both for enjoying a calming trip to a rural and preserved setting and for enjoying an adventurous weekend by getting started into speleology.
Route 1: Cabárceno by bike
Enjoy the Nature Park of Cabárceno in a sustainable means of transport appropriate to the philosophy of the natural park. Cabárceno offers a bike rental service for tourists staying in the Pas Valleys, with more than 60 units of different sizes.
Route 2. Pas Greenway by bike
The Railway Foundation has promoted the recovery of old railways tracks so that they can be used for hiking and biking tours. The Pas Greenway is a historical and natural journey suitable for every age and combines several aspects. On one side, it presents traditional scenes of a farming region and on the other hand it offers an image of local fauna in the process of transformation and a green environment of great ecological value.
The journey from the base of the Alpine Project in Sarón is 24 Km. to Onteda, although stops can be made to enjoy the towns on route. The estimated time as a school or family activity is of three hours one way and a little less on the return, since it follows the slight slope of the river.
Route 3: Pas Valleys Circuit
Medium level circuit. Requires sport clothes and biking footwear.
The start is at 10:00 in Selaya. From here, the route goes for 5 Km. until you reach Pisueña, the town named after the river. We will continue our route until Tezanos and Villacarriedo, crossing pastures separated by stonewalls and scattered with Pas cottages. Returning by about 17:00.
Guided routes for 6-10 people by the Alpine Project. More info in www.a-project.es
