Beautiful lake and views. A bit crowded in August.

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.

Currently called Lake Eriste, it has also been known as the Eriste or Linsoles Reservoir. It was built in the 1960s as part of the creation of the Eriste Hydroelectric Power Station, although its function is to collect water from the power station and accumulate it for the Sesué generating station. A pleasant path runs along its left bank with numerous benches and picnic tables where you can make stops.

The Linsoles Reservoir is a small reservoir that is located very close to the town of Eriste, and where the waters of the Ésera river, coming from the Maladeta massif, come from.

The Linsoles (or Eriste) Reservoir was built in the 1960s to collect the water channeled through the mountain to power the Eriste hydroelectric power station. It is one of the 3 reservoirs of the Ésera river in the Benasque valley.

The ibón de Plan is popularly known as "Basa de la Mora" due to the local legend that tells how a Moorish princess came to this place fleeing the conflicts between Moors and Christians. The princess was lost and her spirit was trapped in the lake forever. Tradition has it that early in the morning of San Chuan (San Juan) those with a pure heart who wash their faces with the waters of the ibón can see the silhouette of the princess dancing with jewels and snakes. This myth is so ingrained in the popular culture of the Chistau valley that there is a saying that is still passed down from generation to generation that goes like this: "If ye que i puyas bela maitinada de San Chuan ta ibón and you don't bieses it, you will have to think about laba-te l'anima… it's only clean güellos, they can see the Moorish princess of the summits".
