As we get closer to the Ratera Waterfall, we will hear the louder and louder noise of the water, which indicates that we are on the right track towards one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Aigüestortes Natural Park. It will be great for us to cool off on the hottest days.

Solaneta Fir

Highlight • Natural Monument

Monumental tree cataloged and protected.
Measurements: Total height (h) = 26.0 m Cannon vault (c) = 4.40 m Average crown (C) = 11.4 m

Notes (NB): L’Avet de la Solaneta is located near Sant Maurici Lake, next to the E. Mallafré refuge. It is a unique tree for its size and age and located on a busy road that borders the lake on the south side.
This Fir is located in a mixed forest with species such as the moixera, the birch, the black pine and the fir as the predominant tree. These are species typical of the subalpine habitat that live in environments with cold winters and an abundance of snow and cool, humid summers.
In this mixed forest, the largest and most prominent tree is the fir. There are other large fir trees around, none of them, but they are about the size of our fir tree.

July 31, 2024,Rund um Estany de Sant Maurici😍👍🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

After a day of traveling, we have now arrived in the Catalan part of the Pyrenees. And we immediately realized that we could forget about my nice planning of our tours, because although the starting points are in parking lots, they cannot be reached by car in high season, but only with a corresponding driving service. But this service is …

June 16, 2022,🇪🇦 Um den Estany de Sant Maurici

We drive from Espot to the national park in off-road vehicles. First we walk along the Estany de Sant Maurici. At the Cascada de Ratera waterfall we treat ourselves to a "shower". Completely soaked, we continue to the Estany de Ratera mountain lake. The landscape becomes more and more idyllic. At the Mirador de l'Estany a magnificent view over the …

August 12, 2023,Estany de St. Maurici (900hm up 390hm down)

The start and finish points are still different today. We shortened the way back and used a nJeep transport.
Descending on the partially scree slope over the almost 400 hm was challenging anyway.

Since there is no rest stop on this route, you have to bring your own snack. Drinks can be filled up about halfway.
The circumnavigation of the …
