Nobody seems to have wrote a review of how to get to the lovely 3 lakes by public transport, so here goes. From Andorra la Vella bus station catch a line 6 bus to Ordino,(la close) every half hour 1.9 euros, bus takes 30 mins. Walk back around 100 metres to the bus stop outside the old tourist info centre now a gym. Catch a minibus to el Serrat village, 12 minute journey 0.2 euro. From same bus stop in el Serrat catch another mini bus to Arcalis resort by the ski lifts 7 minute journey, do not pay again as this bus is free as long as you have an el Serrat ticket. From the ski lifts walk down the hill 100 metres then right down a dirt road for 200 metres, you will then see a sign on the left taking you up into the mountains. The first lake takes around 45 minutes, the second a further 20 mins then another 20 to the last lake. It took us 3.5 hours there and back including stops at each lake. Walk back the same way down and catch the 3 buses back to the capital. An alternative If the ski lifts are running is to use these then walk 30 minutes to the first lake. Hope this helps folks who have not got a car.

We were staying in a nearby hotel and visited the lakes twice.The road to the lakes is closed from 8.30 am till 5.30pm so we had to go up in the cable car which was a good experience.The walk from the cable car station to the lakes is not to difficult and you will be rewarded with spectacular views.
