The Pico Coriscao is not an easy mountain if you start from Cosgaya but it is if you leave from the Mirador de Llesba. The Coriscao belongs in the top 3 of the best miradores of the Picos de Europa, from the top at an altitude of 2234 meters you look straight at the Peña Vieja (2613m) and the Morra de Lechugales (2444m). The Coriscao is made, as it were, as a viewpoint because the view is more than worthwhile in the other directions. In the south is the Pena Prieta (2539m) and in the west you can see the Peña Ubina (2417m). Below you can see the large oak forest of the Liébana Valley.

Collado de la Guarda.
From the parking lot you climb on a first hill and you immediately see your goal in the background. The path continues across grassland to the Collado de la Guarda. You cross the Collado de la Guarda and start rounding the Peña Gustal. Then go around the Peña Cascajal and leave it to the right. You can already see the southern slope of Pico Coriscao and head towards a small pass where the steep climb to your goal begins. You return to the starting point via the same route.
Do not undertake in foggy weather.
