Amitges refuge to Guingueta d'Àneu GR11

Refuge of departure: Amitges

Track difficulty: normal

Stage of frantic descent, because in just over 4 hours in motion we went from 2365m. at the Amitges refuge, up to 975m. of La Guingueta d 'Àneu. This implies a great diversity of landscapes, as well as a significant temperature lag, as we started at 12 ° at 7:50 at the beginning, to finish close to 30 at the end. The first section is along the forest track used to supply the refuge, until passing the Ratera lake, which the GR enters the forest and after a short and stony descent, we find the; spectacular Ratera waterfall, a sublime nature spectacle. Already near the lake of Sant Maurici, the views of the Enchanted are the other marvel that the path provides us. Arriving at the Presa de Sant Maurici, it's time to enjoy the whole visual environment, to continue down the GR, first along the track, but immediately in the middle of the forest, a very comfortable descent and very busy in August. . Halfway, it leaves the forest and passes through more sunny areas until it reaches the village, which crosses the river by a wooden bridge and continues along the side of the road up to the park to Espot.
