Itinerary description
A lovely walk from the parking lot to the Estany Sant Maurici and then via the Cascada de Ratera to the Estany de Ratera and finally to the Mirador above.
Leaving the car park via the boarded walk you walk through woods and meadows on a well marked path up to the lake. With the lake on your left follow the signs to the cascada and onto the Estany de Ratera. In our opinion every step was worth it. The cascada was impressive and the second lake was far more natural than the first.
To descend we followed the road all the way back to the Estany de Sant Maurici. It leaves the marked path but still follows red and white markers. It’s much easier on the knees and a faster way down. However you will miss the cascada if you choose to ascend this way. You then retrace your steps to the car park.
A moderate walk only because of the distance and sharp ascent between the lakes, but nothing technical.
Gorgeous views all along the way.
