We are in the beautiful valley of Gerber, which at this point gives us a beautiful picture with the homonymous lake and the surrounding mountains. If we come up from La Peülla, we will have left behind the two little brothers of the Gerber lake, which will accompany us for a long time during our route.

It is a lake of glacial origin located at an altitude of 2,150 meters within the Aigüestortes National Park.

Gerber Lake

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Varied tour, past three lakes. The views are fantastic. Each lake is embedded in a slightly different landscape. A medium condition and sure-footedness are required. The duration is about 2 hours for the way, if you go slow. The path can be accomplished with a bit of fitness even in 1.5 hours.

You can park at the cable car. One should not be deterred by the local view to go this way. The path becomes more and more beautiful from meter to meter.
