Walking to Punxó
After having helped a film crew bring their equipment down from an estive, I ended up in the Cerdagne last weekend with friends. We climbed Punxó, a little-known summit.
It was bucolic rather than wild, but the pastures were still empty. An exceptional point of view. We identified Carlit, Cambre d’Aze, Puigmal d’Err and Andorra. We thought we could see Vignemale in the distance, covered in snow.
On the summit of Punxó
Little wildlife, but we did hear a marmot and see a short-toes eagle (Circaetus gallicus) circling above. On our descent we passed through pastures with cows and horses waiting for gates to be opened, signalling the start of their summer liberty.
An easy summit, accessible from near the Mas Franco, above Enveitg. 1000m climbing, 17.5km circular walk. http://www.mc2rando.fr/pyreneesorientales/1019punxo.html
