Artiga de Lin & Uelhs deth Joèu
Era Artiga de Lin
A glacial valley on the northern slope of Aneto Peak, where a spring gushes from the 'Jewish Eye' to form a waterfall. Meadows and forest surround it, making it good for easy hiking.
Artiga de Lin lies about 15 km west of Vielha. The valley floor is open meadow and beech forest. At its far end is the 'Jewish Eye' (Uelhs deth Joèu), a fountain-like waterfall. Its water comes from the glacier of Aneto, the highest peak in the Pyrenees, flows through underground karst rivers and resurfaces here. It takes about 20 to 30 minutes on foot from the parking area. In summer, traffic is restricted and parking is paid, but shuttle buses are available. You can also continue on foot to high mountain lakes.
