Pic de Peguera, Mountain summit in Parc Nacional d'Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici, Spain.
Pic de Peguera is a granite mountain of 2,982.7 metres in Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, on the border of the Pallars Sobirà and Pallars Jussà comarques. It is the highest summit of Pallars Jussà, rising between the lake basin of Vall Fosca and the Monestero and Peguera valleys. It stands northwest of the Tuc de Saburó and east of the Pic de Mar, separated from neighbouring peaks by cols above 2,700 metres.
Pic de Peguera lies on the municipal boundary between La Torre de Cabdella, in the Pallars Jussà, and Espot, in the Pallars Sobirà, and its 2,982.7 m summit is the highest point of the Pallars Jussà. The mountain rises between the lake basin of the Vall Fosca and the Monestero and Peguera valleys, in the ring of nearly 3,000 m peaks around the head of the Flamisell.
The summit is part of the Carros de Foc circuit, a traditional hiking route that connects nine mountain refuges across the national park. Walkers use this path to travel between shelters and experience the alpine landscape on well-established trails.
The usual ascent starts at the Sallente reservoir, at 1,750 m in the Vall Fosca, reached by vehicle; from there the route continues to the Coll de Peguera or to the Pic de Mar. Another option climbs from the Josep Maria Blanc refuge, at 2,310 m in the Peguera valley, by the Monestero col. The Colomina and Ernest Mallafré refuges also serve as starting points.
From its position, the summit offers views toward the Aneto-Maladeta massif in the distance. This perspective allows visitors to understand the broader geographical structure of the Pyrenees and see neighboring high peaks across the range.
