ASCENSO AL PIC DE TANTAJO (por Bédarieux)

Pic de Tantajo, at 481 metres above sea level, is an emblematic summit of Upper Languedoc that rises abruptly above the town of Bédarieux, overlooking the Orb valley and the gentle hills around it. Despite its modest height, its steep profile and strategic location make it an exceptional natural viewpoint, both geographically and historically. Since ancient times, Pic de Tantajo has been a visual landmark for travelers and merchants crossing the region, and it also served as a watch post during the Middle Ages because of its clear view over the valley routes.
