Hiking in Panticosa

This morning, we drove 15 min to Panticosa, and with the great advise from the information center, embarked on the best hike in the area. Panticosa is a ski resort and there are ski lifts all over the mountains. We took the gondola up, and were able to do a 3 hour hike in the higher altitudes, above the tree level, to two gorgeous mountain lakes. The views were incredible, and we even made friends with some horses who were grazing on the slopes. A bit of an adventure happened - apparently I have not worn my hiking boots 🥾 for a while (tango travel somewhat replaced hiking travel), and my feet became half size bigger, so the boots were small. By the end of the hike I had painful bloody blisters on my pinky toes. Which had the potential of compromising the remainder of our hiking this trip!Read more
