Pic de Madrès

Located in the French Pyrenees, Pic de Madrès rises to 2,469 meters, presenting steep slopes and rocky terrain visible from the surrounding valleys.

The mountain formation resulted from geological processes during the Pyrenees mountain chain creation, shaped by glacial activities over millions of years.

Local shepherds maintain traditions of seasonal grazing on the mountain slopes, following practices that date back through generations in this region.

Hiking trails to the summit start from three access points in Censà, Mosset, and Le Bousquet, with the main path requiring approximately six hours round trip.

The mountain stands as the highest point in its immediate area, offering views extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the central Pyrenees on clear days.
