Chillin’ by the Dreamy Blue Waters of Gaube Lake

#summervacayLago de Gaube (or Lac de Gaube, if you’re feelin’ fancy) is straight-up nature goals. We took the cable car up from Cauterets and then did a short hike to the lake, super chill, not too hard, and totally worth every step. The views? Unreal. Like, crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by snow-dusted peaks. It felt like we were in a postcard or some magical fantasy movie. We found a little spot by the shore to sit and just… vibe. The air was fresh, birds were chirping, and the whole place had this peaceful, untouched feel to it. Some people were even picnicking or dipping their feet in, but warning: that water is cold. If you’re into nature but not into full on crazy hikes, this place hits the sweet spot. Easy access, jaw-dropping scenery, and just a whole lot of peace and pretty. Definitely one of my fave spots in the Pyrenees. Bring snacks, take your time, and enjoy the mountain magic.
