Fontviva

Excursion to initiate in the mountain, for beginners i boys no accustomed to walk.

We initiate the route the the Portè, previous village to the Coll of Pimorent, where estan the tracks of ski of the mimo name.

With the car when we arrive to the entrance of the village, take the second track, that goes by on top of the village, that will carry us to a parquing that remains above “The llac of the  Passet”. Justo in this point will find an informative signpost that will pin us the way to be followed, that is clear i unambiguous, to our left, i by the low part of the mountain, if we go up link with a way that goes to Lanos.

It is important no despistarse to the entrance of the village, since if we take the first track, and happen in parallel, underneath, of lake Passet, also will go to stop to a parquing, that also carried us to l'Estany of Fontviva, but by a way a lot but costly i unfeasible for people primeriza in the mountain.

Well, once we have begun to walk by the correct track, in roughly 1h 30 minutes, arrive to the Estany of Fontviva, without any type of difficulty, i by a very marked way, never have to take a lot of height, since the desnivel does not happen of 300m.

Before arriving to Font alive, will find us with some meadows where are used to to have “Isards”.

Also I comment that this year, 2008, in winter, find that the Shelter that this at the side of the lake, had been destroyed, but well apisonado by an avalanche, since we find us the ceiling of the shelter displaced of his walls i on some 5 metres by in front of the own shelter. A penalty.

The lake of Fontviva is lovely, so much in winter as in summer. In winter is a perfect excursion to do with raquetas of snow, i in summer when arriving even can you bathe.

Above the lake of Font Alive, there is a way that heads to the Prey of Lanos, that for the one who encourage are two horitas but, with the only desnivel that save, but that the one who there is of l'Estany of Fontviva, to the own way, that this to some 250 m. By on.
