Santa Anna dels Quatre Termes, Mountain summit in Pyrénées-Orientales, France
Santa Anna dels Quatre Termes is a mountain summit in the Pyrenees reaching 1,348 meters high, forming a natural boundary between the Conflent and Rosselló regions. The peak has several slopes and terrain features that create distinct pathways across the mountainside.
The ruins of a chapel near the summit date to the 17th century, reflecting religious activities in this mountainous area of the Pyrenees. These remains show that people have been active in this remote mountain region for centuries.
The mountain's name refers to four boundary markers that meet at its peak, marking the edges of surrounding villages. You can see this old connection between nature and human settlement in how the mountain shapes the landscape.
A circular hiking trail of approximately 42 kilometers was established in 2017, taking visitors across the various slopes of the mountain. When planning your hike, remember that the route covers uneven terrain and changes in elevation throughout.
The mountain's rock structure is composed of schist formed during the Ediacaran period, roughly 600 to 550 million years ago. This ancient geological composition makes the peak a fascinating place for those interested in how the earth's surface developed.
