Puig de Pèl de Ca

The Puig de Pel de Ca reaches an elevation of 2266 meters and features steep rocky slopes leading to a prominent peak in the Pyrenees-Orientales region.

The mountain area contains remnants of iron mining activities from Batera, which operated extensively throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Local shepherds traditionally used the mountain paths to guide their flocks between seasonal grazing areas, maintaining centuries-old pastoral practices.

Hikers can access the summit via the GR10 trail from Batere, following marked paths and stone cairns through an 8.5-kilometer route taking approximately 4 hours.

The mountain serves as a natural observation point for Griffon vultures, which regularly soar around the peak using thermal air currents.
