The central Cantabrian Mountains present numerous relict periglacial landforms, among which rock glaciers outstand (Gon- zález-Villar et al., 2011). Although some authors have tentatively dated their activity between 25–21 and 14–11 ka (Oliva et al., 2016), there are scarce absolute ages directly obtained from these records (Rodríguez-Rodríguez et al., 2017). Here we present 34 new surface exposure ages based on the in situ-produced cosmogenic nuclide 10Be that evidence the stabilization age of the frontal ridge or toe of six periglacial landforms. The studied landforms cover the altitudinal range 1466-1975 m a.s.l. and are linked to reliefs which maximum elevation ranges from 1884 m a.s.l. (Corteguerón peak) to 2141 m a.s.l. (Peña Agujas peak), developed in both north and south-facing slopes. Resultant ages (ca. 16–13 ka) are consistent with previous analysis carried out in the Monasterio and Porma valleys and provide a deeper understanding on past periglacial activity of this mountain setting.
