Saboredo Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Saboredo refuge begins to be guarded (and offer accommodation, food, bathrooms, etc.) from the beginning of June; that means that before that date, you can sleep in the part that remains open, in which there are 4 beds. From June it is advisable to book, as it is a very busy area.
If you stay here, I advise you to stay to watch the sunset from the back of the refuge: impressive!

Estany de Gerber

Highlight • Lake

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.
