TRIP DESCRIPTION

The Carros de Foc route is a circular high mountain route that links the various guarded shelters in the Aigüestortes and Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, in the Lleida Pyrenees.

On this route we will pass by 9 of the shelters and we will stay in 2 of them. This itinerary will discover wonderful places: Aigüestortes, the lake of Sant Maurici, the mountain of Els Encantats, the Agulles d'Amitges, the Colomers cirque, the Besiberris massif, the Monestero valley,… This proposal is suitable for people with a good physical condition.

The route runs through high mountain terrain: paths, uneven terrain, scree and boulders. During the route we pass through some mountain passes at more than 2700m above sea level and occasionally it may be necessary to help ourselves with our hands to progress with more confidence and safety in some specific points. It is necessary to have previously completed routes through high mountain terrain.
