Cap d'Artigalonga, Mountain summit in Bossòst, Spain and Haute-Garonne, France

Cap d'Artigalonga rises to 1818 meters above sea level, featuring a composition of sandstone and lutite formations along the Spanish-French border in the Pyrenees.

The mountain summit has marked the territorial boundary between Spain and France since the establishment of modern borders through the Pyrenees mountain range.

Local shepherds from both Spanish and French communities maintain traditional grazing practices on the mountain slopes throughout the warmer months.

Hikers can access the summit through marked trails from Bossòst, with the climbing season extending from late spring through early autumn.

The mountain's geological structure contains distinct layers of sandstone and lutite, creating visible striations that reveal the region's ancient marine origins.
