If you are organizing your getaway through the Bear Trail, the first logistical decision to make is where to park. Being a linear route that divides into 'two branches' based on the municipality from which it starts, Teverga or Quirós, choosing your parking point well will allow you to have a flatter journey (Tuñón branch) or very especially 'downhill' with minimal effort (Teverga branch).
Obviously, if you are traveling with several vehicles, coordinating the arrival and departure of the different points detailed here will be key; also this guide will help you move with ease through the Trubia valleys.

Entrago Parking (Teverga) – The Key Point
Location: View on Google Maps 📍
Capacity: Very spacious, paved and signposted next to the AS-228 road.
Why park here: It is the highest point of the Teverga branch. If you leave your car here, the route will be practically “downhill” for 16.5 km. Up to its 260 meters of altitude, the average slope is 2%. Additionally, it is where most bike rental companies offering pick-up service at the end of the route operate.
Tuñón Recreational Area (Santo Adriano) – The Classic
Location: In front of the church of Santo Adriano de Tuñón, historic start point of the trail.
Capacity: Approximately 120 vehicles.
Who for: Ideal for hikers traveling the lower section (the one with the least cumulative elevation gain) or for expert cyclists who prefer to perform the full climb as a workout and then descend comfortably to the car.
Valdemurio Reservoir Parking (Quirós)
If you choose the Quirós branch, like the water, or plan to combine the trail with water activities, this is your place.
- Environment: Parking located at the foot of the reservoir with spectacular views.
- Services: Canoe rental and cafeteria available. It is the starting point of one of the most beautiful journeys: Peñas Juntas.
⚠️ Note: In August and holidays, it usually fills up completely starting at 11:00 AM.
Parking in Proaza (Intermediate Point)
Proaza is the administrative heart of the valleys and offers a strategic central location.
Location: There are several parking areas at the entrance of the village and near the Town Hall.
Strategy: It is the perfect point if you only want to walk 2 or 3 kilometers to see the Bear Enclosure and return to the village to enjoy local gastronomy without long logistical complications.
Expert tips for your visit
Early Arrival
During spring and summer weekends, the Entrago and Valdemurio parkings fill up quickly. We recommend arriving before 10:30 AM.
Combining with Rental
If you are going to rent bicycles, many companies have their own private parking enclosures for customers. Check it when making your reservation at lasendadeloso.es.
Respect the environment
The Bear Trail crosses small villages. Avoid parking outside signposted areas to not obstruct the passage of neighbors and agricultural machinery.
