Chapelle de l'Ermitage Notre-Dame de Font-Romeu

Perched majestically above Font-Romeu, the Hermitage Chapel of Notre-Dame de Font-Romeu is a site of profound historical and cultural significance. Dating back to the 17th century, this charming chapel offers not only a glimpse into the region's spiritual heritage but also provides one of the most spectacular panoramic viewpoints of the Cerdanya valley and the surrounding peaks. It's renowned for its traditional pilgrimage every September. Visitors can reach it via a scenic walk from the village (approx. 30-40 min ascent) or by car. The interior houses intricate altarpieces and traditional ex-votos. Entry is generally free, though donations are welcome, and opening times can vary; usually accessible during daylight hours in warmer months. It's a peaceful spot for contemplation and photography, especially during sunrise or sunset.
