Two ski resorts lie north of León in the mountains of the Cordillera Cantábrica. Estación Invernal de Leitariegos is the smaller of the two, located in the northwest of the province on the border with Asturias. Small, in fact, is an understatement.With a modest peak of 1,700 m (5,576 feet) and no snow-making abilities, a trip to ski here is hit-or-miss.
You should call ahead of time for a rundown of the current surface conditions. The resort has a total of six runs with difficulty from easy greens through moderate blues to above-average reds. It’s a lot of up and down, up and down, as the runs are short and connected only by one seated lift and two poma-lifts.
A small shop rents skis and sells lift passes at the base.To reach Leitariegos from León it’s an hour and a half drive and well worth the sightseeing through the mountains. Take the C-623 northwest almost all the way. At Villablino, the highway merges with another and becomes C-631; continue on through Caboalles de Abajo, which is a few kilometers south of the Puerto de Leitariegos and the resort.
