Pic de les Salines, Mountain summit in Eastern Pyrenees, France and Spain
The Pic des Salines reaches an elevation of 1,333 meters and marks the natural border between France and Spain in the Eastern Pyrenees.
The mountain stands at a strategic point where merchants historically transported salt between France and Spain through ancient trade routes.
The mountain name reflects the regional salt trade heritage, with both French and Spanish versions representing the linguistic diversity of the area.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the summit from Céret, Maureillas-las-Illas in France, and Maçanet de Cabrenys in Spain through marked paths.
The summit offers dual-country access points and contains a mountain refuge located 550 meters south-southwest of the peak for hikers.
