At the heart of the Capcir in the Catalan Pyrenees, in the commune of Angoustrine-Villeneuve-des-Escaldes at an altitude of 2016 m, there is a listed natural site of immense beauty: the artificial Lake of Les Bouillouses. It covers 149 hectares, and its waters filled with brown and rainbow trout delight fishing enthusiasts.

In summer, to protect this superb natural space and regulate the seasonal influx of tourists, the traffic is controlled. In July and August the lake is only accessible by shuttle bus, leaving from the Pla de Barrès, by chairlift from Font-Romeu or by footpaths.

Signposted paths by the lake, for example the path leading to the peak of Carlit, enable you to explore the surrounding mineral landscapes, dotted with numerous small lakes!
