Pico Jano

Pico Jano is a 1,446-meter (4,744 ft) summit in the Liébana region with distinctive rock formations typical of the Cantabrian Mountains. The peak sits between the Deva and Quiviesa river valleys and displays the geological character of this highland area.

The mountain has long served as a navigation point for local communities and was marked with a triangulation pillar. This surveying marker continues to help mappers document the Cantabrian highland territory.

Shepherds have grazed their flocks on these slopes for generations, shaping how the meadows look today. This ongoing practice maintains the open grasslands and supports rural traditions in the region.

A marked 4-kilometer trail leads from Dobarganes village to the summit and works for both hikers and mountain bikers. The path is well-established and easy to locate from the starting point.

From the top, visitors can see the Picos de Europa mountain range and where two major river valleys meet. This vantage point makes the peak a natural viewing spot for the surrounding landscape.
