Hiking
Together with the Inferior Blue lake and the Infierno lake, they are known as the Blue lakes or Hell lakes.
All the Aragonese lakes are protected by being included in the Inventory of Singular Wetlands, therefore any activity that could modify the quality of their waters is prohibited. While bathing is not specifically mentioned, it is understood that bathing with chemicals on the skin such as sunscreen, deodorant, perfume, or lotion is negatively affecting water quality, so it cannot be done. You can read the protection decree and the list of wetlands included here: boa.aragon.es/cgi-bin/EBOA/BRSCGI?CMD=VEROBJ&MLKOB=558856590404
