How to get to Leitariegos: by car, by air and parking

Leitariegos sits in Cantabrian Mountains – León, Spain, at 1513–1800 m. Getting there mostly comes down to altitude and whether you're driving or flying in — here's the practical part.

Getting to Leitariegos by car

With 1513–1800 m of elevation, the access road often requires winter or M+S-rated tyres, and snow chains can be mandatory on heavy snow days. Check road conditions before you drive up and build in extra time for the last few kilometres of mountain road.

Getting to Leitariegos by air

The reference airport is Aeropuerto de Asturias (OVD), in Asturias — from there, it's 1h 30min by car.

Parking in Leitariegos

Most resorts have paid parking right by the lifts and free options a bit further out with a shuttle. Arriving early on busy days (weekends, holiday weeks) is the difference between parking right at the slopes or walking quite a bit further.
