Torre del Llambrión

Torre del Llambrión rises to 2,642 meters in the Central Massif of Picos de Europa, standing as the second-highest peak in the Cantabrian Mountains.

The first recorded ascent of Torre del Llambrión took place in 1856 when Casiano de Prado and Joaquín Boquerín led a group of seven climbers to the summit.

The name Llambrión originates from Llambría, referring to the polished limestone surfaces that characterize the mountain formations in this region of northern Spain.

Climbers can access the mountain through two main routes: from Cordiñanes village or via the cable car at Fuente Dé, which reduces the initial climbing distance.

The mountain features a preserved glacial circus at its northern wall base, where ice remnants persist through summer months at this high-altitude location.
