Pico Occidental de la Cascada, Mountain summit in Fanlo, Spain.
The Pico Occidental de la Cascada rises to 3095 meters within the Mont Perdu massif, presenting steep rock faces and limestone formations.
This mountain peak has served as a natural border marker between France and Spain since the establishment of the Pyrenean boundary treaties.
The mountain lies between two national parks, connecting Spanish Ordesa with French Pyrénées through shared geological and natural heritage.
Mountain guides recommend starting the ascent early in the morning and carrying proper alpine equipment due to the technical nature of the climb.
The summit offers views of both the Mediterranean and Atlantic watersheds, with distinct ecosystems visible on each side of the mountain.
