Alpine lake
Great hike. I really enjoyed this strenuous walk with great views. Take something warm for the top. Depending on the time of year poles are worth taking too. Many places to picnic.

Great Hike, Lake Low
This hike can be reached by bus. Take the 4 bus toward the Pasa de la Casa. Have the driver stop at Inclines street where there is a bus stop but it must be indicated to stop. Hiking before May could have the trail blocked by too much snow or too much melting. Know the accurate forecast before you start as rain can bring lots of mud. From Inclines to the top and return can be around 14Kms but it is much shorter from the car park near the base of the mountain. Wikiloc has many trails of this hike. There is a refuge that is manned most of the year here with accommodations and food. The hike will take about 2 hours 20 minutes by Andorra official guide. The trail is well marked. During high hiking season you will see many people on the trail. The lake itself is comprise of an upper and lower lake. At the time of writing there is a damn project under construction that has lowered the lake considerably but it is still a nice hike and something to see in Andorra. Bring sunscreen, hiking shoes, snacks, water, phone, lunch. Dress for the different climates as you ascend. Mid May and I was still in snow.

Juclar, the biggest lake in Andorra
Juclar is a fabulous walk, it is so lovely that you will forget about aching legs and the time. In spring the flowers are absolutely amazing and the butterflies and wildlife are abundant if you take it slow and keep noise to a minimum. Once you reach Juclar you can stay at the refuge which can be booked ahead of time, a hot dinner and breakfast will be provided along with showers and toilets. The rooms in the refuge are brilliant, four bunk beds and it is very warm. It is a wonderful experience for kids after an easy hike. I give Juclar two thumbs up!
