Pic de Portapàs

Pic de Portapàs reaches an elevation of 1,795.7 meters and stands at the eastern buttress of the Madres mountain range in the French Pyrenees.

The mountain area contains remnants of an old station that was once connected to the talc mining operations of Caillau during the industrial period.

The mountain territory spans across three administrative communes: Mosset, Nohèdes, and Urbanya, representing a shared natural heritage of the Conflent region.

Hikers ascending from Urbanya start at 856 meters and follow marked trails through varying landscapes, requiring proper navigation tools due to dense forest coverage.

The summit area features a forested zone where orientation becomes particularly challenging, as tree coverage often obscures traditional landmark visibility.
