Circuito de Lagos de Colomers (Hiking)
One of the most emblematic and stunning hiking routes in the Val d'Aran, the Colomers Lakes Circuit offers a breathtaking journey through a glacial cirque dotted with over 30 high-altitude lakes and tarns. Located within the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park buffer zone, this route provides varying levels of difficulty. The full circuit, starting from the parking area near Baqueira-Beret, typically takes 4-6 hours, covering about 10-12 km with an elevation gain of around 400-600 meters. A shorter, more accessible loop from the Refugio de Colomers (reachable by taxi-jeep in summer) allows visitors to experience the beauty without extreme exertion. The trail showcases diverse Pyrenean flora and fauna, dramatic rock formations, and crystal-clear waters perfect for photography. No specific entrance fee, but taxi-jeep service has a fare (e.g., 5-10 EUR per person one-way).
