Pico Jano is a mountain of Cantabria (northern Spain).
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 14460NaN0 m.[4] The mountain must not be confused with another Pico Jano close to Bárcena de Pie de Concha (1289.70NaN0).
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]
