Canigou
Highlight • Summit
Canigou Peak is considered a symbol of Catalonia, with a legend that the mountain is the throne of the King of Catalonia. It is also considered a sacred place for Catalans, with a local tradition of going up the mountain to watch the sunrise on the summer solstice.
The mountain is a popular hiking spot, with several hiking trails leading to the summit. Hikers can also spend the night in mountain huts located along the trails. In winter, Canigou is also a place for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
The summit of Canigou offers a panoramic view of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, as well as the city of Perpignan and the Roussillon plain. The region is also rich in flora and fauna, with species such as chamois, mouflon and golden eagle.
Canigou Peak is an important place of pilgrimage for Catalans, as well as a place to hike and explore for visitors to the region.
