Pic de Marboré, Mountain summit in Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, Spain
Pico Marboré is a mountain summit reaching 3,248 meters in height that forms the border line between France and Spain within the Pyrenees. The peak lies within Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park and requires serious mountaineering skills to reach.
The peak was first climbed in 1865 by mountaineers Henry Russell and Hippolyte Passet. This ascent marked an important moment in the exploration of the central Pyrenees during the 1800s.
The summit sits at the border between two protected mountain regions and draws climbers from both France and Spain. The location creates a meeting point where climbing traditions from both countries intersect.
Climbing this peak demands alpine experience and gear such as ropes and climbing equipment. Most ascents begin from Refuge de Goriz, and climbers need to be comfortable with exposure and changes in elevation.
From the summit you can see the Glacier de la Cascade on the French side and the Monte Perdido Range on the Spanish side. This view reveals the striking differences between the two mountain slopes at the border.
