Font-Romeu-Odeillo-Via

The eastern Pyrenees define the setting of Font-Romeu-Odeillo-Via — the high, sunny Cerdagne plateau gives this commune an open mountain character and conditions for a long winter-sports season. At Odeillo, the solar furnace is a CNRS research facility that concentrates sunlight for work on high-temperature materials and energy. Font-Romeu is also home to France’s National Centre for Altitude Training, created in connection with preparations for the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics. The Ermitage de Font-Romeu remains an important Marian pilgrimage site in the Pyrenean region. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Occitanie and the eastern Pyrenees.
