After an endless climb during which you will have asked yourself several times what you are doing there, you finally arrive at the immense Cregüeña lake and any doubts will surely be dispelled. This imposing lake is the largest undammed glacial lake in the entire Pyrenees, with an area of more than 1.5 km and a documented depth of almost 100 m (like a 40-story building or the length of a soccer field). .

All Aragonese lakes are protected as they are included in the Inventory of Singular Wetlands, so 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, deodorants, perfumes or creams is negatively affecting the quality of the water, so it cannot be done.
