Itinerary description
The route starts at a big parking place at Grau Roig, a short distance from Soldeau eastwards.
In the winter Grau Roig is a good Ski Resort.
There are so many lakes that it is quite difficult to put them correctly on the route map. Be a little aware of that when you look at the pictures.
The lakes are connected in three lines down the valley.
