Tips from the Community
It's an ideal spot for a picnic. It's also an ideal place for groups of cyclists supported by vans, as there's plenty of space here to relax and not disturb anyone. The lake is at an elevated point, so accessing it from La Llagonne or Les Angles requires a steep climb, always at a lower gradient.

The Col de la Calvaire de Font Romeu is a mountain pass in French Cerdanya, next to the town and ski resort of Font Romeu. This port connects the Bolquère valley with the Cerdanya valley. The port is within the same town of Font Romeu, next to the station's ski lifts. There are many slopes to reach Col de la Calvaire: - the western slope that starts from Ur is approximately 16 km and crosses the town of Targasone and the Col d'Egat. It is a very steep climb along a road in perfect condition, although on holidays there is a lot of traffic. - The southern slope starts from Llívia and crosses Estavar and joins the previous one at the Col d'Egat. Unlike the first, the first section of the climb is very hard, with several horseshoe curves and with wonderful views of the entire Cerdanya and the Tosa d'Alp. - The eastern slope stops at Olette, and after approximately 28 km it reaches the top of the pass, passing through the town of Mont-Louis and Bolquère. It is a very steep climb, like the first, on a road in perfect condition but with a lot of traffic. I don't like going up here. - the eastern slope that starts from Olette and passes through the Col de la Perche, reaching the town of Font-Romeu and from there to the top. Of all the slopes, the one I like the most is the slope that starts from Llívia and crosses Estavar.
