サウンの天然記念物・トップ20

この湖は、ピレネー山脈ツアーの前に聞いたことがなかったのですが、この地域では明らかに「必見」です。湖の端にある滝とともに、訪れる価値のある素晴らしいハイキングの目的地です。

素晴らしい山の湖

A legendary mountain pass in the Pyrenees. A crossing point between the Chistau and Benasque valleys, linking Sobrarbe and Ribagorza at an altitude of 2000m.

Despite being relatively easy to access, this beautiful lake located at 2300 m altitude is not one of the most visited in the Pyrenees. However, it stands out for being located in a very clear glacial cirque, with an almost perfect overexcavation basin. 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.

Access is via forest tracks in good condition. Obviously, to reach 2000m it takes a little time but the reward is worth it: the views are magnificent over the valleys and peaks at 360 degrees. A delight !

Beautiful turquoise blue reservoir in the middle of the Pyrenees

Lake Sausset a few meters after Espingo is the most magnificent of the 3 lakes
