The 2465 m high Pic de Costabonne , in Catalan Pic de Costabona , is a prominent mountain peak in the eastern Pyrenees .

geography

The Pic de Costabonne is located about 20 km (as the crow flies) southwest of the Canigou massif; it forms the watershed between the French coastal river Tech and the Spanish coastal river Ter . The old cultural landscape of the Ripollès extends to the southwest ; in the northwest is the former Catalan county of Conflent .

history

Small mines for mining minerals and ores already existed on the northern flank of the mountain in the Middle Ages.

Ascent

As part of an approx. 8 to 9 hour hike, it is possible to climb the mountain from La Preste . On the Spanish side, the GIV-5264 hiking trail leads up to about 10 km to the mountain.
