Geography

The mountain is part of the range dividing the valleys of rivers Deva and Quiviesa.[3] Located between the municipalities of Camaleño and Vega de Liébana, both in Liébana, its highest point is occupied by a pillar used as trig point, whose base is at 1,446-metre (4,744 ft) m.[4] The mountain must not be confused with another Pico Jano close to Bárcena de Pie de Concha (1,289.7-metre (4,231 ft)).
Access to the summit
[edit]An easy and well waymarked route to Pico Jano starts from Dobarganes,[5] a village of Vega de Liébana municipality. Its length is about 4 km. The summit can also be reached by mountain bike.[6] Pico Jano offers views of Picos de Europa.[7]
