San Isidro Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Be it in winter with your skis on, or in summer on foot or by bike, the ski resort of San Isidro is the perfect place to enjoy nature.

San Isidro is a fantastic ski resort in the Cantabrian mountain range, located in the northern part of the province of León. With peaks reaching between 5,000 and 7,000 feet, it is surrounded by magnificent natural beauty that will delight all who go to ski in winter, as well as those who decide to spend their summer holidays in San Isidro.

The ski resort of San Isidro offers all the amenities you’ll need so that your only worry will be how to make the most of your time. With more than eighteen miles of slopes for all levels of difficulty, you’ll be able to have fun skiing or snowboarding, whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned expert. It also has a snowpark and areas for cross-country skiing.

If you find cheap trips to San Isidro in the summer, you’ll find whole new ways to enjoy the local nature. Try your hand at mountain biking or ride horseback to take in the splendid landscapes. Feeling a little more daring? Have a go at climbing, paragliding or any of the different water sports such as rafting, canoeing or kayaking in the Rivers Porma and Curueño, or windsurf on the Porma reservoir. Another good option is hiking, as the trails cater for all levels: choose between outings that last several days or simpler, short treks.

San Isidro is an excellent base to explore other nearby areas, as it is located next to the Alto Porma valley, which is part of the Picos de Europa Regional Park. Visit the spectacular glacial lakes of Ausente and Isoba and discover the curious legends about their origins. Also worth a visit is the Museo de la Fauna Salvaje, a wildlife museum in Valdehuesa, which houses a collection of stuffed animals from all corners of the globe.

It’s easy to get there by train or bus from León or Asturias. Book your package holiday to San Isidro and discover a truly unique location.
