Route through the landscapes of León with all the outdoor gear you need

Looking for a mountain route this autumn? León is one of the most unknown gems in northern Spain, and its greatest treasure is natural: the province has the highest number of biosphere reserves in the world. Places like Babia, Ancares, and Laciana offer lush valleys, towns frozen in time, and landscapes that, despite the summer fires, continue to stand as true green lungs.

But if there's one thing that can make a difference in your mountain experience, it's having the right gear. At Inuitz, you'll find everything you need for your next getaway: from cold-resistant family tents to furniture, portable stoves, thermoses, and solar panels for longer trips.

Mountain routes in León you can't miss

1. Babia and Luna: meadows, stars, and Babiana architecture

Here you'll understand why people used to say "to be in Babia" (meaning to be daydreaming or distracted). This reserve offers one of the most complete mountain routes in northern Spain. Green meadows, paths along the Luna River, and skies so clear that they are ideal for bivouacking or camping with light high-mountain tents like those we have at Inuitz.

→ Inuitz Tip: Nights in San Emiliano or Villasecino are cold even in September. Make sure to bring a thermal sleeping bag and an insulating mat.

2. Ancares Reserve: nature in its purest state

A trip through Ancares is like traveling back in time: pallozas (traditional thatched-roof houses), ancient chestnut trees, and oak forests where bears and wolves still live. If you're going with family, chalet-style family tents are ideal for spending more than one night without losing comfort.

→ Inuitz's portable solar panels are perfect if you need to charge mobile phones or LED lights in areas without coverage.

3. Laciana: former mining area, now a refuge for the brown bear

If you're interested in combining nature and geology, the routes through Laciana are for you. The valley, surrounded by chestnut and beech forests, is ideal for quiet getaways with camping. Don't forget to include a folding cart if you're carrying heavy equipment or going with children.

4. Alto Bernesga and Los Argüellos: hiking among fossils and caves

From the gorges of Vegacervera to the caves of Valporquero, these routes combine mountains, history, and active tourism. They are perfect stretches for those who love light trekking with a hydration pack and are looking for less crowded areas.
