Circ de Colomèrs
A glacial cirque on the southern side of the Aran Valley, dotted with more than forty alpine lakes. Circuit hikes around the lakes are among the classic routes in the Pyrenees.
The Colomèrs Cirque lies on the outskirts of Aigüestortes National Park, at an altitude of 2,100 to 2,600 metres, and contains dozens of glacial lakes. In summer, take a off-road taxi from Salardú to Banhs de Tredòs, then walk about 1.5 hours to the Colomèrs refuge. The short lake circuit takes 3 to 4 hours and offers lovely views of snow-capped peaks reflected in the water. Bring hiking boots, and watch for thunderstorms in the afternoon.
