Camping Mascún

At Camping Mascún we assure you a few days of rest surrounded by possibilities of active leisure in the Guara Park and the Rodellar Valley . In this scenario we are waiting for you to enjoy with you:

- Canyon descent in the ravines of Mascún Superior, Peonera in its two sections, the Oscuros de Balcez and Gorgas Negras. All of them are aquatic with channels of different intensity so that you find the challenge to suit you.

- Hiking : in four tours through the towns and surrounding areas of Lobartas, Peña Rubiacha, Puente Coda, Seral, Garganta Baja or Virgen del Castillo. All require an average of 1 to 2 hours to complete the path.

- Via ferrata in La Peña la virgen, with all the elements that will bring us closer to climbing without the complexity of this sport.

- Climbing : on the walls of the Guara Massif, with views of the interior of its ravines and the option to improve your level or have an initial approach to this discipline.

At Camping Mascún we work on all the ravines that make up the Parque de Guara . Our position in the Rodellar valley allows us to access canyons of different characteristics, both due to their water level and their complexity.

Choose between:

- Mascún Superior : the best known and most aggressive of a rappel that reaches 18 meters of unevenness.

- Oscuros del Balcez : a section in which 4 hours of constant unexpected obstacles are used and a rappel that we will execute to save a difference of 7 meters.

- Black Gorgas : a challenge for which you must be physically prepared because it will take a minimum of 10 hours to complete. The water is constant throughout the itinerary and we will rappel up to 20 meters.

- Peonera Superior : it hardly presents any difficulties and will require us to dedicate between 6 and 6 hours if we start in the direction of Corral Alto. In this case the abseil is optional.

- Peonera Inferior : it is essential to swim freely as the river will never leave us. We will go through Tozal Redondo to stay in the canyon for around 4 hours.

At Camping Mascún we complete your stay with pleasant hiking routes designed so that you do not miss any detail of the Sierra de Guara .

Some of the most interesting routes:

- From Lobartas to Peña Rubiacha and Puente Coda : in just 1 hour and a half we will get an overview of the area, getting to appreciate the grandeur of the Barrasil and Mascún ravines.

- From Garganta Baja to Seral and Paña Grau : in less than 2 hours we will go deep into the mountains of Guara, checking the enormous size of the Alcandre canyon.

- From Seral-Losa to Mora-Campiello : we will take 1 hour and 45 minutes of approach to reach the Losa Mora dolmen and the quiet extensions that will be our goal.

- From Cheto to Fonciachas and Virgen del Castillo : we will walk in search of the remains of the autochthonous culture for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Any of these routes does not require exceptional physical condition and we can follow them with appropriate footwear and a small backpack with water.

Camping Mascún, in addition to accommodation, complete your stay with climbing days taking advantage of the upper part of the Mascún ravine and the Rodellar valley .

We offer you the option to go climbing, for people used to this sport, or to learn from the beginning. In either case, you will find the right environment in Parque de Guara, a regular meeting point for professionals in this discipline, with routes of various degrees.

For climbing:

- We will evaluate your starting point : even if you do not have knowledge, we do not assume that we know what you need because we believe in an individualized teaching system. We will check your strengths and those aspects to which we should dedicate more time.

- We will choose the route that best suits you . You will always depend directly on the capacity of your arms and the support that your legs provide, but the exercise will vary greatly depending on the degree of the stretch we face.

At Camping Mascún we accompany you on your first contact with the via ferrata in the Peña la Virgen .
We will go to a section in the mountain that has been prepared to allow us an easy and safe ascent. We will ascend the rock using previously installed elements:

- The itinerary begins with a staircase of staples secured to the wall that will help us to reach a remarkable height in a short time. Both in this phase and in the following ones, we will proceed to attach the harness that we will wear to the life line parallel to the entire itinerary. In the event of a fall, we will be suspended from the rope without danger.

- This via ferrata, over the Mascún ravine , continues through footbridges and cables until it leaves us on the platform at the top of the rock. A short distance away we will be surprised by the hermitage of the Virgen del Castillo.

Before leaving, we will make sure that the helmet that we will distribute among the participants is well placed, and that we are clear about how the harness and insurance are used.
