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 summit sits on the Franco-Spanish border between boundary crosses no. 314 and no. 315, and it marks the watershed between the Adour basin, draining north to the Atlantic, and the Ebro basin, draining south to the Mediterranean. It forms the south-western upper rim of the Ossoue glacier together with the Pic Central (3,235 m) and the Clot de la Hount (3,289 m).
