Pic de Cernalles, Mountain summit in the Pyrenees, France
The Pic de Cernalles reaches an elevation of 658 meters, featuring steep cliffs and marked trails throughout its Mediterranean vegetation landscape.
The summit gained recognition in 1911 when locals replaced the original wooden cross with a metal one, establishing it as a significant navigational point.
Local traditions include men touching the copper nail at the base of the cross for fortune, while women historically made marriage vows at this location.
The summit can be accessed through a 6-kilometer marked trail system, requiring approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes for a complete round trip.
From the peak, visitors can observe the Mediterranean Sea, Canigou mountains, and Corbières ranges during clear weather conditions.
