No sound

At 09:00 in the morning we will meet in the parking lot of Salardú, we will take our cars towards Baqueira and enter the tourist complex of Ruda, where we will make a short stop to see the fountain of Aigüeira. Next we will take a dirt track (15's driving), usually have potholes depending on what winter was like, until we cross the Bridge of Locampo where we will park; there is option to rent 4x4 cars.
We will save a positive unevenness of 400m along 4Km, where we can appreciate the eroded shapes left by the glacier after its passage. The geomorphology of this area is very well represented through the needles, edges, lakes, abhorred rocks, remnants of rocky glaciers, we will enjoy an incredible day.

Description

The ice has sculpted the land over the years and it is more tan evident in this valley. The fanciful figures carved on the rock are a clear sign. We will learn to detect those signs and interpret them correctly. On our tour we will pass through the most important source of the head of the Garona and through different forms of moraines and distinctive traits of glacial erosion to reach the Saboredo Cirque and be able to discern the “Aguja del Gendarme”, the limit of two pre-existing glacial cirques.
