ポセツ-マラデタの湖・トップ20

This modern refuge is located in an unrivalled location. In addition to offering accommodation, it has an open kitchen, food service, bar, toilets, hot showers and heating.

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.

By mountain bike it is not too difficult to get here. You could probably do it on a gravel bike too. The views are wonderful and worth the trip. Sometimes food is sold here and a bus comes here.

The first ibón that you find on this route, although it is half camouflaged among the vegetation. Next to the path there is a stone hut that is a bit dirty but that can serve as a shelter in case of need.

Small reservoir located at the entry of the Estos Valley, swimming is not permited.

The refuge is located between lakes and streams through which they communicate with each other. The facilities are great, even offering food service and a bar! It is the ideal place to stop to take a breather for granted.

Worth a vissit, but watch out for the broken street. Its a horror for the car to drive through
