Pic de Serrère, Mountain summit in the Pyrenees, Ordino, Andorra
Pic de Serrère is a 2,912–2,913 m summit on the Andorran-French border, on the ridge between the parishes of Ordino and Canillo and at the north-eastern limit of the Sorteny Nature Park. Its south face is a broad snow-covered couloir, and the summit is marked by a large cairn and, since 2017, a 1.40 m metal estripagecs sculpture.
The mountain saw iron extraction activities from the 17th through 19th centuries, with established routes connecting to mining sites. The presence of these former workings shaped how the land around the summit developed over time.
The name comes from the Latin serra, meaning mountain chain, while pic denotes a pointed summit as opposed to the rounded tossa and bony. Since 2017 a 1.40 m metal estripagecs sculpture by Pere Moles marks the top, a reduced copy of those in the Sorteny nature park.
Strong footwear, sufficient water, and layered clothing are essential since mountain conditions can shift rapidly during the day. Spring through early autumn offers the most reliable access and safer walking conditions on the trails.
Since 2017 a 1.40 m metal sculpture of an estripagecs, a figure from Andorran folklore, marks the summit. It is a reduced copy of the estripagecs that artist Pere Moles installed in the Sorteny nature park; five identical sculptures stand on other Ordino peaks: Casamanya, Cataperdís, Estanyó, Font Blanca and Tristagne.
