Things to know

Aigüestortes National Park sits in the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees, and its name—”twisted waters” in Catalan—will make perfect sense the moment we hit the trail. More than 200 alpine lakes mirror granite peaks and glacier-carved valleys, with the scenic Estany de Sant Maurici lake as the park’s crown jewel. This 42-kilometer (26-mile) trek weaves through prime Pyrenean terrain over four days, each ending at a perfectly positioned mountain hut. After a hot meal and a real bed, you’ll wake ready for more of what these trails deliver: solid terrain, clean lines, and lake views that beg for longer breaks.
