9:45 Aparquem a una curba pronunciada just avans de la frontera amb Andorra i ens preparem per pujar. No hi ha massa neu, pero al ser una vall enfocada al nord en trobem mes que en altres zones. Pel cami trobem rastres d'animals de la zona i tambe veiem alguns Isards
11:15 Arribem a una zona mes planera amb algunes roques que no estan covertes per la neu. Seiem una estona per admirar les vistes i menjar alguna cosa.
12:45 Encara no es veu l'estany, pero tenim unes vistes fantastiques del pic de la Mina i del pic de Pedrons, aixi que parem a fer algunes fotos mentre va baixant gent amb esquis de montanya.
13:10 Arribem al estany dels Pedrons. Esta completament covert de neu i inclus hi ha algunes trasses d'esquis per sobre. Fem la foto de rigor i comencem a tornar.
14:00 Dinem al mateix lloc on haviem parat a la pujada. En acabat seguim baixant cap al parking, i anem veient que encara hi ha enbus de gent pujant cap a Andorra.
14:45 Arribem al cotxe.

9:45 We park at a right turn before reaching the border with Andorra and get ready to ascend. There isn't much snow, but because this is a valley that opens to the north we find more that in other areas. Along the path we find some animal tracks and see some Isards.
11:15 We reach a flatter area with some big rocks that are not covered by snow, and we sit for a bit to contemplate the views and eat somehing.
12:45 The lake is still a bit further but the views of the surrounding peaks are amazing. So we stop to make some photos and see some people do ski touring.
13:10 We reach the Pedrons's lake. It is completely covered in snow, it even has some ski tracks crossing it. We do a few photos and start going back.
14:00 We eat our lunch at the same spot where we stoped on the way up. When finished we continue descending towards the parking while we see that there is still a traffic jam on the road to Andorra.
14:45 We reach the car.
