Pic de la Fossa del Gegant, Mountain summit in Pyrenees, Spain and France

Pic de la Fossa del Gegant is a 2,807.7-metre summit on the Franco-Spanish border, at the southern end of the Fontpédrouse commune in Conflent and the northern end of Queralbs in Ripollès. It rises east of the Coll de Noufonts and west of the Coll de Noucreus, forming the south-western rim of the cirque where the Torrent de Carançà, known as the Fossa del Gegant, has its source. A vertical summit marker with a black post, a red pole and a silver pick stands on the rocky ground.

The summit lies on the border between the Queralbs municipality of Ripollès, Catalonia, and the Carançà valley of Fontpedrosa commune, Conflent. It stands at the southern end of Fontpedrosa and the northern end of Queralbs, east of the Coll de Noufonts and west of the Coll de Noucreus. It forms the southwestern rim of the cirque where the Torrent de Carançà, called the Fossa del Gegant, rises.

The name means Giant's Pit Peak, coming from local stories about legendary creatures said to inhabit the Pyrenean mountains long ago. Hikers passing through this area still speak of these tales today.

Hikers can reach the peak via marked trails from Queralbs in Spain or Fontpédrouse in France, typically during warmer months when conditions are most favorable. The terrain is steep and weather can change quickly, so visitors should wear proper footwear and bring layers.

On clear days, the summit offers direct views of Catalonia stretching across the Spanish side and the ridge systems of French Pyrénées-Orientales on the opposite slope. The contrast between the two landscapes visible from this single point reveals how geography shaped the border itself.
