Its name means ‘Lost Mountain’ but the dramatic, craggy silhouette of Mount Perdu, surrounded by the beautiful Pyrenees, is almost impossible to miss. This mountain range spans the border between France and Spain and includes several waterfalls, lakes, canyons, leafy forests and glacial cirques on its sloping land.

Many species of plants and animals call the mountains of this range home, including the rare Bearded Vulture, a bird with a 3 meter wingspan that is almost impossible to see in Europe.

Mount Perdu has been recognised as a World Heritage site since 1997.

A much loved cycle route leading to dramatic coastlines dotted with secret coves and rocky bays. Many would argue that you haven't really seen Mallorca until you've travelled across Es Pla.
