Peric, Mountain summit at Angoustrine-Villeneuve-des-Escaldes, France.
Peric is a mountain summit in the Pyrenäes-Orientales that straddles three municipalities and is crisscrossed by several established hiking paths. The terrain transitions from forested slopes to alpine meadows as you climb higher.
The mountain has long been a destination for climbers and hikers seeking to establish new routes in the region. Its recognition on the FEEC100 list confirmed its status as an established peak worth pursuing.
Local residents maintain traditional stories about the first ascents of Peric, documenting the experiences of early climbers who established routes to the summit.
You can reach the mountain from any of the three towns, with each route offering different difficulty levels and taking varying amounts of time. Good footwear and weather-appropriate clothing matter, as conditions at higher elevations can change quickly.
The summit's location provides views of three distinct municipalities while supporting a specialized ecosystem of mountain flora and fauna adapted to high altitudes.
