The lake water is of excellent quality and fit for drinking, a sign of how unspoilt the national park area is.

Alpine species such as the ibex, the marmot, the eagle, the blue hare and the Alpine salamander all live here in the wild. The golden eagle, however, is now a very rare sight indeed. The flora in the national park is equally varied and includes the Pyrenean dead-nettle, Hausmann's rock jasmine and the dwarf Alpine rose. After a long day walking, climbing or skiing, visitors can head for a mountain inn or a hut offering accommodation to enjoy some generous hospitality and regional cooking.
