Puig de Fontfreda

Puig de Fontfreda, Mountain summit in Céret, Pyrénées-Orientales, France

Puig de Fontfreda is a 1,093 m summit in the Pyrenees above Céret, on the ridge that continues northeast to the Pic del Bolaric (1,031 m). Its slopes are covered in dark green woodland mixed with dry grass and scrub, and white-walled, orange-roofed buildings stand among the trees on the lower slope. A metal lattice mast with a horizontal antenna boom and a black cable to a white concrete building stands on a flat concrete platform at the top.

A stele honouring the évadés de France was inaugurated at the Col de Fontfrède, the pass below the summit, for those who crossed the Pyrenees during the Second World War to escape the Vichy regime and reach Spain. The summit itself rises to 1,093 m on the territory of Céret, and its ridge continues north-east to the Pic del Bolaric at 1,031 m.

The name Fontfreda comes from the Catalan font freda, "cold spring", after the spring that flows near the summit. The peak belongs to the commune of Céret, the town known as the capital of the cherry, whose inhabitants are nicknamed els sac-i-corda. Céret's old town keeps its walled circuit, gates and the church of Sant Pere in the middle.

A paved road from the D131 leaves only about 200 metres of ascent on foot to the summit. Walkers starting in Céret town centre reach the top in roughly 90 minutes by trail. The ridge continues north-east to the Pic del Bolaric at 1,031 metres.
