Puig del Roc Negre

The Puig del Roc Negre rises to 2714 meters in elevation, featuring rocky outcrops and alpine meadows characteristic of the eastern Pyrenees mountain range.

The mountain served as a geographical marker between different territories throughout centuries, with its name reflecting the Catalan influence in this French region.

Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on the mountain slopes, preserving agricultural methods that date back many generations in these French Pyrenees.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from the towns of Casteil, Valmanya, and Corsavy, with the main route covering 17 kilometers and 1454 meters of elevation gain.

From the summit, hikers can observe both the Mediterranean Sea and the Roussillon plain, while also spotting the hidden Gourgs de Cady mountain ponds below.
