Estación Invernal de San Isidro is northeast from León in the mountains on its border with Asturias. Snowboarders will be happy to know that there is a half-pipe on the hill and die-hard bump skiers have three challenging black runs to filet. Of the five ski resorts in the Cordillera Cantábrica, San Isidro is one of the two largest and snowiest. The other is Valgrande/Pajares, officially in Asturias but closer to the city of León than its own two resorts. All told there are 23 runs serviced by four seated lifts and eight poma-lifts. The majority are mid-level blues and reds, with a couple of green beginner runs San Isidro is a little over an hour away from León, depending on the bus traffic. Take the N-621 northeast and pick-up the LE-V-3141 heading north in the direction of Boñar. After passing this city, continue north on the LE-331. The road will wind around the lake or Embalse de Porma in the direction of the Puebla de Lillo Redipollos. A kilometer past the exits for this small village, veer left on the LE-332, following the signs to the resort.
