Braña de Murias Chongas
Braña de Murias Chongas is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 1.650m (5,413ft) above the sea level, located in the autonomous community of Asturias, in northern Spain.
Located within the Somiedo Natural Park, the road to the summit is gravel, rocky and treacherous. It’s called Camino Pr AS-15.1. Weather conditions can change quickly and be harsh. Strongly required making your way though with a high-clearance 4WD vehicle. As always, check road conditions before departing. Altitude and extreme weather are always a factor at any time of year. Open to traffic throughout the year. May be closed for short periods in winter when the weather is bad.
