Pic de Cimbeils, Mountain summit in Thuès-Entre-Valls, France.
Pic de Cimbeils, also called Roc dels Cimbells, is a 2,270-metre summit on the border between the communes of Nyer and Thuès-Entre-Valls in Conflent, northern Catalonia. It lies at the north-eastern tip of Nyer's south-western extension and the south-eastern tip of Thuès-Entre-Valls' similar, inverted extension. With the Puig de la Costa Llisa and the Puig de Ribes Blanques it forms the ridge separating the Torrent de Carançà valley to the west from the Ribera de Mentet valley to the east.
The sources record no pastoral history for this summit. The mountain stands on the boundary between the communes of Nyer and Thuès-Entre-Valls in the Conflent comarca of northern Catalonia, and its documented role is as a frequent hiking destination in the western sector of the Canigó massif.
The peak's name appears in two forms: Roc dels Cimbells in Catalan and Pic de Cimbeils in French, reflecting the border between the Nyer and Thuès-Entre-Valls communes. It is a frequent destination for hikes in the western sector of the Canigó massif, and the ridge it shares with the Puig de la Costa Llisa and the Puig de Ribes Blanques separates the Torrent de Carançà valley from the Ribera de Mentet.
Several marked trails reach the summit with starting points available from both Thuès-Entre-Valls and Nyer villages and accessible year-round. Trail conditions change with the seasons, so checking local weather before you go helps you prepare properly.
