This is not one of the highest Pyrenean peaks at a little under 3,000 metres but it is the highest in its area, the Eastern Pyrenees near the ski resort of Font-Romeu. It seems to be in a micro-climate area which gives it more sun than many of the other peaks.

Its ascent demands not much more than reasonable fitness and an absence of vertigo and the views from the top are fantastically good. Ibex and Chamois are to be seen in the falling light of a summer evening on the upper [snowy] slopes.
