Cerbillona, Mountain peak in Pyrenees, France and Spain
Cerbillona is a mountain peak in the Pyrenees reaching 3247 meters above sea level and forming part of the Vignemale massif along the border between France and Spain. The summit features rocky slopes and offers views across both countries for those who reach the top.
The peak has served as a natural boundary marker between France and Spain since the establishment of their border. Geographic surveys of the region documented its position as a key reference point along the frontier line.
Local mountaineering groups from both France and Spain regularly organize expeditions to Cerbillona, maintaining climbing routes and sharing knowledge across generations.
The ascent is possible through several established routes, with the main path starting from the Refuge des Oulettes de Gaube on the French side. Climbers should bring proper gear and alpine experience, as the route involves steep sections and rocky terrain throughout.
The northern face of the peak overlooks the Glacier d'Ossoue, one of the largest remaining glaciers in the Pyrenees. This glacier is clearly visible in clear weather and shows the alpine ice zones of the region.
