Lagos de Tristania, Ordino Parish, Andorra
4.5 (255 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in El Serrat Bodies of Water
Breathtaking views
This place is easy to acces by car and then you can walk or take the chairlift up to the top. We took the lift with our small dogs, a nice way that offer views over the lakes. The trail was pretty crowded and this was a more peaceful and faster way to the top. Its not as calm as some other trails you more or less have for yourself in Andorra but it is well worth a visit because the views are stunning! There is also a restaurant perfect for a drink or small meal after the hike.

3 lakes by public transport
Nobody seems to have wrote a review of how to get to the lovely 3 lakes by public transport, so here goes. From Andorra la Vella bus station catch a line 6 bus to Ordino,(la close) every half hour 1.9 euros, bus takes 30 mins. Walk back around 100 metres to the bus stop outside the old tourist info centre now a gym. Catch a minibus to el Serrat village, 12 minute journey 0.2 euro. From same bus stop in el Serrat catch another mini bus to Arcalis resort by the ski lifts 7 minute journey, do not pay again as this bus is free as long as you have an el Serrat ticket. From the ski lifts walk down the hill 100 metres then right down a dirt road for 200 metres, you will then see a sign on the left taking you up into the mountains. The first lake takes around 45 minutes, the second a further 20 mins then another 20 to the last lake. It took us 3.5 hours there and back including stops at each lake. Walk back the same way down and catch the 3 buses back to the capital. An alternative If the ski lifts are running is to use these then walk 30 minutes to the first lake. Hope this helps folks who have not got a car.

A fantastic hike for all ages and abitlites, with an amazing reward
A beautiful walk, fine for young children. I went with a family with children aged 3 and 6 years old and it was challenging at some parts but not impossible. The walk is then rewarded with amazing lakes to look at. We went in October and there was no snow, but it was still spectacular with all of the beautiful nature surrounding the lakes. There are narrow paths in some places, with loose rocks. Closed shoes with some grip is needed, but hiking boots are not necessary. Running shoes would be fine, I'd even go in my Chuck Taylors if they weren't so old and had no grip.
