Pic de Font-Frède, Mountain peak in Pyrenees-Orientales, France

The Pic de Font-Frède rises to 1093 meters, featuring slopes covered with chestnut, beech, and pine forests extending to its summit.

A memorial stone near the pass commemorates the clandestine passages of people fleeing the Vichy regime during World War II.

The name Font-Frède derives from the Catalan 'Font freda', meaning cold fountain, referencing a natural spring located near the summit.

Access to the summit involves a paved road from Céret, followed by a short 200-meter trail, making it an accessible ascent.

The Pou de la Neu pass at 1235 meters marks the French-Spanish border and preserves the remains of an ancient ice well.
