Pic de Salòria, Mountain summit in Alt Pirineu Natural Park, Spain.
Pic de Salòria is a mountain summit in Alt Pirineu Natural Park located in the eastern Pyrenees at approximately 2,800 meters elevation. The peak rises distinctly from its surroundings and displays the sandstone composition typical of this mountain region.
The summit marks the highest point of the Alt Urgell comarca and forms part of the Alt Pirineu Natural Park, on the ridge dividing Alt Urgell from Pallars Sobirà. In the summers of 1882 and 1883 the Catalan poet Jacint Verdaguer crossed the Pyrenees and climbed the Pic de Salòria, later crowning Aneto, Pica d'Estats and Canigó. On 7 March 1884 he described the ascent in a lecture at the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya in Barcelona.
The summit appears in the 100 summits list of the FEEC, the Catalan federation of hiking clubs. In the summers of 1882 and 1883 the Catalan poet Jacint Verdaguer crossed the Pyrenees and climbed the peak; on 7 March 1884 he described the view from the top in a lecture at the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya in Barcelona.
The most used summer route starts from the Coll de Conflent, not from any forest trailhead. From the col the summit is hidden; the climb crosses scree and broom vegetation past two rocky outcrops, then follows the ridge. The slope eases after the last outcrop. The ascent is slow for those unused to it.
A geodetic vertex, reference 270072001, stands on the summit. The peak is listed among the 100 cims of the FEEC, the Catalan hiking federation's catalogue of 100 summits. In the summers of 1882 and 1883 the Catalan poet Jacint Verdaguer climbed it during his Pyrenean crossings, and on 7 March 1884 he described the view from the top in a lecture at the Centre Excursionista de Catalunya.
