Colomers lakes circuit
A wildly dramatic walk through a never ending set of picture book lakes. Can easily be extended to take in even more. The watershed mountains peer down at you from high above. The refuge is normally open after 2pm for sale of food and drink.

Nearest town | Salardu |
Directions to start |
From the C28 road in Salardu at a roundabout find a sign pointing to “PN Aigues Tortes” (Park National…………) and take this thin road. Cross over the river and then begin a long twisty route up to a large car park just in front of a small “shed”. The road has been partly resurfaced but there is still a section of potholes and rough going. |
