Puig de la Carbassera

Puig de la Carbassera reaches an elevation of 1001 meters and stands as a prominent peak in the eastern Pyrenees mountain range along the Franco-Spanish border.

The mountain has long served as a natural boundary marker between France and Spain, influencing the movement of people and goods through the eastern Pyrenees passages.

Local residents from both Argelès-sur-Mer and Espolla maintain traditional hiking routes to the summit, preserving centuries-old pathways through the mountain landscape.

Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from both the French and Spanish sides, with the main access points starting at the towns of Argelès-sur-Mer and Espolla.

Recent reforestation initiatives on the northern slopes demonstrate successful ecological restoration efforts, transforming previously affected areas into thriving Mediterranean woodland.
