This pretty route owes its name to the fact that Mn. Jacint Verdaguer, the illustrious Catalan renaissance writer did the route before writing Canigó, the famous Pyrenean legend.
The Verdaguer - Estany de Creussans hiking route is done in about 5 hours and is downhill, as it starts at the top of the Creussans chairlift. From here a series of explanatory signs mark our route. We will start the descent and come to the Port de Creussans, where we see a plate commemorating the arrival of the Catalan writer to Andorra on 25 August 1883, and we continue our route over alpine meadows to the Creussans Lake and further on we come to a modern building which is the la Coma restaurant at Vallnord ski resort. We follow the route across the Coma del Forat river and carry on down alongside the river Tristaina.
