Ardisana Trail
Ardisana Trail is held every September in the small village of Ardisana, in the Llanes council. The race packs 1,000 meters of elevation gain into just 15 kilometers, making it one of the most demanding races per kilometer on the Asturian summer mountain calendar.
A route across the valley’s summits
The course starts in Ardisana and climbs the water tank track, circling Amporios before stringing together the summits of L’Ablanosa, La Muyerina and Ibéu. The descent via El Meón leads to the village of Palaciu, from where the route heads back to Ardisana to close the loop.
Summer on the eastern Asturian coast
Mid-September in Llanes usually brings good weather, with views from the summits combining mountain and Cantabrian coast on clear days. The concentrated elevation gain demands good fitness despite the short distance.
Beyond the race in Llanes
Llanes is one of the most visited towns on the Asturian coast, known for its beaches, its “cubes of memory” and its historic old town. After the race, take the chance to explore the coast or discover other races in the Asturias region. Check the race planner to organize the full weekend.
