Cap de la Cometa del Forn

Cap de la Cometa del Forn, Mountain summit at 2691 meters in Canillo, Andorra and L'Hospitalet-près-l'Andorre, France

Description

Cap de la Cometa del Forn is a mountain summit straddling the French-Andorran border, rising to approximately 2691 meters. The peak features steep rocky terrain interspersed with open grassland, creating a landscape that transitions between different elevations and vegetation zones.

History

The mountain has served as a natural boundary dividing France and Andorra, with the international frontier following the ridgeline. This geographic position made the peak a logical border marker when territories were formally defined.

Culture

The mountain serves as a traditional grazing ground where shepherds have managed their flocks across the seasons. This longstanding practice shapes the appearance of the slopes and the local way of life.

Practical

Hikers should expect steep terrain and bring layers of warm, weatherproof clothing since mountain conditions can change rapidly. The route demands steady footing and stamina for a full day of walking in high altitude.

Did you know?

From this summit, hikers can continue to connected peaks like Roc Mele and Pic de la Cabanette along high-altitude pathways. This network of linked routes allows walkers to traverse a mountain range rather than visiting a single isolated peak.
