One of the highest of the Carlit ponds, more steep-sided, fed by a small waterfall: this pond is worth a visit.

Magnificent hike

At Estany del Castellar you will discover a tranquil alpine lake, surrounded by rugged peaks and lush green meadows. The crystal clear waters are reflected in the mountains, creating a picture-perfect scene. The Estany del Castellar area is also known for its rich biodiversity, so keep an eye out for native wildlife such as marmots and ibex. This lake is an interesting destination for hikers and nature lovers.

Still some snowfields in May

Carlit Peak is part of the Capcir granite massif, which is dotted with 27 lakes and small lakes in the Occitanie region, northwest of Font-Romeu. Its summit is located at 2921 meters, allowing you to observe an immense panorama (from Canigó to the Central Pyrenees).

The Porteille of Bésines, a mysterious pass in the depths of the Catalan Pyrenees, tells stories of hikers in search of adventure and silence. Whether you come from the south via the Bésines refuge or from the north via the shimmering Estagnas pond, the path takes you into a world of rugged beauty. The south wall is rougher, as if it had been shaped by centuries of unpredictable weather, while the north wall has a gentler face. And although the climb does not pose any major technical challenges, the moody mountain weather can certainly make the route more demanding. But once you get to the top, it's worth stopping and lingering. The view opens to the gentle peaks of the Catalan Pyrenees Regional Natural Park, which rise majestically. It is as if the mountains in the distance sing a silent melody that touches the heart of every hiker. Every view, every play of light on the peaks tells a story - an invitation to delve even deeper into the heart of this wonderful country.

Culminating at 2,921 meters, the peak of Carlit reigns within an exceptional natural environment. It offers wide panoramas over the valley and its countless lakes.

Great tour with a great view
