フィネストレの絶景の山頂・トップ5

Keep your eyes open, we saw marmots above the refuge!

The classic and arguably most-visited peak of the Eastern Pyrenees. Due to its location, this mountain can be seen far into France. The gravel road to the Ras dels Cortalets parking lot requires good shock absorbers (please correct me if it's no longer allowed to drive there). From there, it's only 600 meters of elevation gain via Pic Joffre to the summit. The second ascent from the south is somewhat more challenging, so a traverse is also possible.

Magnificent summit, one of the emblems of Catalonia, the ascent and descent made by the famous chimney more impressive than difficult

The Marbet peak culminates at 726 meters above sea level. It offers beautiful panoramas of the Baronnies, the Puig de les Feixes and the villages of the Têt valley.

Pic Joffre culminates at an altitude of 2,632 meters in the Canigou massif. It is located between the Cortalets refuge and the Canigou peak.

The Canigou peak is a peak in the Pyrénées-Orientales in the south of France. Culminating at 2,784 meters above sea level, it is located in the Catalan Pyrenees regional natural park, approximately 50 kilometers from the city of Perpignan. Canigou Peak is considered a symbol of Catalonia, with a legend that the mountain is the throne of the King of Catalonia. It is also considered a sacred place for Catalans, with a local tradition of going up the mountain to watch the sunrise on the summer solstice. The mountain is a popular hiking spot, with several hiking trails leading to the summit. Hikers can also spend the night in mountain huts located along the trails. In winter, Canigou is also a place for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. The summit of Canigou offers a panoramic view of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, as well as the city of Perpignan and the Roussillon plain. The region is also rich in flora and fauna, with species such as chamois, mouflon and golden eagle. Canigou Peak is an important place of pilgrimage for Catalans, as well as a place to hike and explore for visitors to the region.

Very nice views from up there, on the steeper side there is even a bit of climbing to do.

Driving up is no longer possible. It is better to plan a night in a refuge.
