The Valamar lakes are located on Mount Valamara in a large glacial complex, at an altitude of about 2200 m above sea level. They form a group of three glacial lakes, with an average length and width of 300 by 200 m, separated by sea sediments. In these pools, the water is crystal clear and cold. In winter, when the surface of the Valamar lakes freezes, they take a completely different shape. Water bodies have important scientific, geological and cultural values, as they are rich in animal life and form an interesting ecosystem of high mountain lakes.
