Capcir, often nicknamed the "Little Siberia of France" for its long and harsh winters, is a vast high plateau rising between 1,500 and 1,800 meters in the Catalan Pyrenees (Pyrénées-Orientales). This high-altitude territory, despite the cold, benefits from strong brightness. It is characterized by a lakeside landscape, dotted with vast forests of Scots pine and numerous natural ponds (such as the lakes of Matemale and Puyvalador). Capcir is a prime location for outdoor sports, punctuated by family-friendly ski resorts (notably Les Angles and Formiguères), and offers exceptional hiking trails in the summer leading to the high peaks (near the Pic Carlit). It is a preserved natural space, perfect for lovers of vast, cold, and luminous landscapes.
