This lake is one of those you pass on your way to the largest lake in the Vall de Gerber. It's beautiful up to here, but it's still worth reaching the third and last lake on the route: Estany de Gerber or even reaching the Gerber Mataró refuge.

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.

After the ascent we were rewarded with this wonderful view over the lake and the mountains. The landscape appears nice and rough.

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.
