Experience firsthand one of nature’s greatest spectacles: the deer rut. When September arrives and the first rains signal the beginning of autumn, the majestic stags fill the valleys of the Picos de Europa with their powerful bellows, a sign of the mating season. Enjoy an unforgettable experience in the heart of nature, guided by experts who will bring you closer to this fascinating ritual that usually lasts until the end of October.

What is the deer rut?

During the rut, male deer make their bellows resonate to attract females and warn off rivals. This unique atmosphere allows visitors to witness spectacular confrontations between males, where the sound of antlers clashing clearly asserts dominance over the territory. It is not only a sound event but also a visual one; sometimes these fights result in injuries or even death, showing the intensity of the battle for survival.
