Étang de Laurenti, Mountain lake in Ariège, France.
The Étang de Laurenti extends over 6 hectares at an elevation of 1936 meters, surrounded by pine forests and rocky outcrops in the French Pyrenees.
The lake formed through glacial processes during the last ice age, shaping the current landscape of the Donezan region in the Ariège department.
The lake represents a significant element in the Pyrenean mountain heritage, with local shepherds using the surrounding pastures for generations.
Access to the lake requires a 2.5-hour round trip hike from the Forest Refuge parking lot, following marked trails through a 320-meter elevation gain.
The Laurent stream serves as the lake's outlet, contributing to the water system of the Donezan region while maintaining the natural equilibrium.
