Chelau Lake

Local name: Ibón Chelau (Ibón Helado de Pondiellos)

Chelau Lake

Chelau Lake lies in a massive cirque beneath the three-thousand-meter Picos del Infierno. Its surface often holds ice even in July, reflecting the harsh high-mountain environment. The surrounding granite debris and eternal snowfields create a classic glacial landscape. Views of the milky-blue water enclosed in rocky walls convey the feeling of an alpine desert. The dramatic peaks and extreme conditions make it a destination for experienced hikers and climbers.
