This extended route reaches the highest accessible points of the Panticosa sector and offers a more in-depth exploration of high-altitude terrain. With time for multiple viewpoints and optional progression to more technical ground, this session suits both newer drivers and those wanting something more advanced. Personalised alternatives are available for returning guests.
The route begins with the climb towards Panticosa station, following steady mountain tracks with wide views across the Tena Valley. Early on, the guide stops at Las Antenas, a high perch overlooking the surrounding ridgelines. This gives you a chance to get comfortable with the terrain and adjust to altitude as the route continues upward. The guide ensures a controlled pace and provides advice on line choice, weight distribution, and how to handle uneven ground.
From here, the session heads to the upper basin where the Sabocos and Asnos lakes sit at roughly 2000m. The open terrain around the lakes allows for clear visibility and a noticeable shift in surface type compared to the lower slopes. If the group demonstrates good control and the conditions are suitable, you may ascend further to the Mandilar viewpoint at 2270m. This section involves slightly rougher tracks and sharper gradients, and the guide will make the decision based on your comfort and driving level.
For those who have already completed this route in the past, the session can be adapted to explore other sectors of the valley. Options include alternative viewpoints, forest routes, and lesser-known mountain tracks used seasonally. Routes change throughout the year depending on snow levels, ground conditions, and weather patterns, ensuring each visit offers something different.
This activity takes place across the Panticosa sector of the Tena Valley, an area known for its steep natural relief and varied alpine terrain. Lower slopes contain pine and mixed woodland, giving way to open ski pistes and wind-shaped ridges as you gain elevation. The transition between these environments creates a naturally progressive driving route that suits varied skill levels.
Reaching the Sabocos and Asnos lakes provides access to one of the most recognisable high-mountain settings in the valley. Their elevation offers panoramic views toward nearby summits and allows the guide to explain how glacial formation and seasonal patterns influence the terrain. The optional progression to Mandilar—when achievable—adds a sense of exposure and height that can only be accessed safely with proper guidance and suitable vehicles.
Drivers must hold a valid driving licence. Confidence with basic vehicle control is helpful, but beginners are welcome as long as they follow the guide’s instructions. Automatic transmission on all vehicles keeps operation simple, allowing you to focus on steering and terrain awareness.
Passengers require no experience. Sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are essential, as temperatures and wind exposure can change significantly above 2000m. The guide will assess experience levels before departure and select the safest and most enjoyable route for the group.
Routes are adjusted constantly based on conditions and your previous experience, ensuring that each session feels tailored rather than generic. The guide leads from a separate vehicle and provides continuous support on handling, safe spacing, and adapting to altitude. Their knowledge of the valley makes them adept at selecting the right viewpoint or terrain type for each group.
Our fleet includes high-performance models such as the Polaris RZR1000 4-seater, the Polaris RZR900 2-seater, and two-seater ATVs. These vehicles offer strong suspension, reliable braking, and predictable handling on mixed surfaces. Regular maintenance ensures they remain stable and comfortable even on uneven mountain tracks, giving you a secure driving experience throughout the ascent.
