At the foot of Point of the Signal, you will discover the highest rock engravings in Europe.
Dating back to the Bronze Age (3,500 years ago), they add a new piece to the story of the ancient relationship between humans and mountains. These depictions of people, animals and spirals emerged due to the retreat
of the glacier, a consequence of climate change.
