The lake laden Colomèrs basin is a mountain range formed in the shape of a circle which holds in its basin nearly 50 lakes (estanhs). The slow, but efficient process of erosion of ice from the glacier era left behind the legacy of an incomparable landscape. The surrondings in this high mountain landscape with high and steep mountain peaks reaching 3000 meters in altitude are simply breathtaking. The Creu de Colomèrs, the Gran Tuc de Colomèrs and the Tuc de Ratera are a few of the more emblematic peaks of this range.

The proposed hike is a circular route passing by the nearest lakes to the entrance of the Colomèrs basin, passing by 7 different lakes. This route connects with the route proposed for families of Aigues Tortes Colomers and starts from the taxi stop at Montanheta following the signs to the lakes.
