Pic de Finestrelles, Mountain summit in the Eastern Pyrenees, France and Spain

Pic de Finestrelles is a 2,826-metre summit on the axial ridge of the Pyrenees, where the communes of Eina and Llo in Alta Cerdanya meet Queralbs in the Ripollès. The photograph shows a broad, bare massif of pale grey-brown rock and muted green slopes, its rounded summit rising to the upper right, with ridges and faint diagonal striations visible above a band of cloud. Small green shrubs and pale grey rocks stand near the foot of the slope.

The summit lies on the axial ridge of the Pyrenees, where the communal terms of Eina, Llo and Queralbs meet. The 2016 photograph by Marc Bret, taken at dawn on 16 July, captured the Massif des Écrins 443 km away, including Pic Gaspard, setting a world record for the most distant landscape photographed from a ground point.

The summit lies on the axial ridge where the communal terms of Eina, Llo and Queralbs meet, so the peak is shared between Alta Cerdanya and the Ripollès. Walkers reach it from the Vall de Núria via the Coll de Finestrelles, the shortest approach, or by longer routes from the Refugi de Coma de Vaca past the Coll de Noucreus, and from the Carançà and Eina valleys on the northern side.

The shortest route starts from the Vall de Núria, climbing first to the Coll de Finestrelles on the right and then following the ridge to the summit. From the Refugi de Coma de Vaca the way is much longer, passing the Coll de Noucreus and the ridges of NouFonts and Pic d'Eina. Approaches from the Vall de Carançà or the Vall d'Eina on the north side are also long.

On 16 July 2016 at dawn, Marc Bret photographed the Ecrins massif in the French Alps from this summit with a Panasonic Lumix FZ72 and its 1200 mm zoom. The farthest identifiable point, Pic Gaspard, lay 443 km away, a world record for the most distant landscape photographed from the ground.
