Tuc de Crabèra

Tuc de Crabèra is a mountain in the Pyrenees standing at 2,630 meters on the border between France and Spain. The summit is composed of sandstone and lutite, rock types that create the distinctive geology of this section of the range.

The summit has marked the natural border between France and Spain for centuries due to its position in the Pyrenees. This role as a boundary point developed when medieval treaties established the mountain range as the official separation between the two nations.

Local mountaineering groups regularly include this peak in their catalogs, making it part of the FEEC100 list of recognized summits in Catalonia.

Hikers can reach the summit via marked paths from Sentein in France or from Canejan in Spain, depending on which side they approach from. The best season for climbing is June through September when trails are snow-free and conditions are suitable for mountain walking.

The peak rises only 54 meters above the nearby saddle and sits just 857 meters from its neighboring summit Tuc de Canejan. These modest distances show that the mountain is part of a continuous ridge rather than standing as an isolated peak.
