Mont Capell, Mountain summit in Saint-Laurent-de-Cerdans, France.

Mont Capell reaches an elevation of 1195 meters and features hiking trails that wind through dense forests and rocky terrains.

The forests of Mont Capell were used for iron extraction during Roman times, with forest reserves called Garlandas established in 1360.

The paths of Mont Capell mark the routes taken during the 1939 Retirada when Spanish Republican refugees fled through these mountains.

The hiking trail starts at the former espadrille factory parking lot and requires approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes to complete with a 540-meter elevation gain.

From the peak, hikers observe the Bay of Rosas, Costabonne, Bassagoda, and Canigou Massif in a complete circular panorama.
