Recommended crossing point from Eriste to Cerler, or walk its approximately 300 meters from Cerler

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 !

This mighty ravine collects the waters of seven other ravines: Mascarada, Cllotet, Ardonés, Ubago de Ardonés, Ampríu, Puimestre and La Selva. That large basin was partly responsible for the great floods of 1963 that left Anciles looking like an island.
