Excursion With scarce desnivel that will carry us until the Estany of Malniu to 2290 metres of altitude.
This excursion has all the requirements to consider an ideal excursion for a familiar exit, since his desnivel is scarce, of so alone some 160 metres. Our point of exit finds in 2.130 metres. The first lake finds to 2250 metres and the Prat Fondal, point higher of the route, to 2.290 metres.
The distance to visit is of some 6 kilometres and the time of roughly an hour.
In winter is easy to find snow on the way and see the freezing lake, when being on the 2.000 metres of altitude. But with a bit of prudence is a trek that can do without a lot of difficulties.

160 m
160 m
To arrive it is necessary to take the road that goes of Puigcerdà to to The Seu d'Urgell, and just to the exit of Ger, take the manually right road that goes up until Meranges. It is worthwhile to leave the car and visit the streets of this village of pesebre, with houses of stone, a shop of cheeses and a restaurant, and hotel.
To continue to the lake it is necessary to cross the village following the track that drives to the shelter of Malniu. They are some 10 kms. The half asphalted and the another half of earth. Narrow all she, and in strong rise. Some stretches are badly, watch the cars according to the rains and the state of the track. If all goes well will arrive to the shelter of Malniu, that has service of accommodation, foods and bar. There it is necessary to leave the vehicles. You will find a source with tables for picnic and a pair of areas of camped. Good place to spend the day with boys.
Here we go out from the footpath signposted with a poster where indicates shelter of Malniu, roughly 1h. Of route.
The marks are yellow and white without any type of stray, and other marked in yellow with a number in black.
It is necessary to be attentive to the marks because in some cases are very move# away and in others result a bit losing, although the way is very marked. But if it goes when there is snow, so much with raquetas as without them, is precise to be attentive to the marks.
We will go rising by the forest of pines, nerets, stones and pedruscos until arriving without a lot of cansancio to the lake of Malniu.
If it goes in the period of winter when it still does not do lacking carry raquetas but there is snow and ice can find us with the freezing lake, image incredibly beautiful, and besides can us hit the gustazo to visit the lake by in half without any type of problem, and always with all the prudence and necessary fear. In this excursion did it and went a true pleasure experience you walking by the freezing lake.
Good seen on the Cerdanya, and especially, the beaks that surround it. Especially the omnipresente Puigpedròs.
It is a very short route, perhaps of some 6 km. Gone i turn, to an altitude of 2130m. And practically with very little desnivel.
