Pic d'Arlas

Pic d'Arlas is a 2,044 meter (6,706 feet) high mountain summit in the Spanish Pyrenees. The peak sits in a high alpine zone with rocky slopes and sparse vegetation.

The peak served as a navigation point for shepherds moving their herds through the mountain passes over centuries. This pastoral use shaped how people understood the landscape.

Local mountaineering groups maintain detailed records of climbing activities at Pic d'Arlas, with June registering as the primary month for successful ascents.

Reaching the summit requires mountaineering experience and proper equipment because of steep terrain and variable weather. Visitors should start early to make full use of daylight hours.

On clear days, visitors can spot two taller neighboring peaks from the summit: Pico de Aneto and Pico Posets. This view reveals the scale and height variations across the Pyrenean mountain chain.
