Route Description
Tres ProvinciasWe walk to left (east) to the little col with the little lake (2050m). We follow the cairns of left (NE) and we reach the bottom of the Cubil de Can with a lot of stones surrounding the lake. We leave the rocks for the left side to a grassy terrain (important slope with snow and risk of avalanches in winter). We walk in diagonal to SE to reach little by little the upper side of the ridge of Cubil de Can near of the last ramp to the peak Tres Provincias (2496m, 1h30min). For this peak we descent to the col with Peña Prieta and across the narrow path among the stones we reach the upper col between the two summits. In the last meters we need the use of the hands in the stones (easy, but exposed with snow) to reach the summit of Peña Prieta (2539m).
