Our route starting from the hotel starts at the gates of the La Torre campsite, right on a mountain road that branches off from the main one that takes us to the ski resorts. To get here, it is important to know that the same journey can also be done by taxi ( https://www.taxisespot.com/ ) and that there is the possibility of spending the night in the refuge located on the same lake. At the beginning of the trail we will see a sign that follows the course of the river to the lake, where especially at the beginning there are several waterfalls on your left.
The first section is made on a wide road that gradually narrows and we will see that the forest is condensing forcing us to cross several wooden bridges and a small stream. Shortly after climbing for half an hour we will find the first valley that offers us incredible views of the town and the Pyrenean peaks in the distance. After this section the forest condenses again and we enter the national park.
Little by little we continue to climb towards the first lake that we will see on our left. From here it is only a matter of climbing the path between the valleys that takes us directly to Estany Negre and the refuge.
Once at the top, you can decide where to continue the route or if you prefer to go down the same path again. Otherwise, there is also the option of going down the same route at the height of the first lake and taking another path that brings us closer to the area of the Estany de Sant Maurici.
Once at the top we recommend stopping and having a picnic with your lunch or having lunch at the Josep Maria Blanc Refuge ( https://www.jmblanc.com/es/ ).
This route is also part of the Carros de Foc route ( https://www.carrosdefoc.com/ ).
