Pic de la Fossa del Gegant

The Pic de la Fossa del Gegant rises to 2,808 meters above sea level, forming part of the natural border between Spain and France in the Pyrenees range.

The mountain position between Queralbs and Fontpédrouse has marked territorial boundaries since the Treaty of the Pyrenees established the French-Spanish frontier in 1659.

The mountain name translates to Giant's Pit Peak, reflecting local folklore about mythical beings inhabiting the Pyrenean mountains during ancient times.

Mountaineers can access the summit through marked trails starting from both Queralbs in Spain and Fontpédrouse in France during summer months.

The peak offers direct views of both Spanish Catalonia and French Pyrénées-Orientales regions from its position at coordinates 42.4173°N and 2.1905°E.
