Perdiguero, Mountain summit at French-Spanish border in Haute-Garonne, France

Standing at 3,222 meters, Perdiguero marks the natural boundary between France and Spain, offering views across both the Benasque Valley and Comminges region.

Friedrich Parrot and Pierre Barrau completed the initial ascent of Perdiguero in 1817, establishing the first documented route to reach its peak.

The name Perdiguero stems from local observations of stone formations resembling deer patterns scattered across the mountain slopes.

Climbers access the summit through Granges d'Astau near Bagnères de Luchon, with optimal climbing conditions occurring between June and September.

The mountain holds the distinction of being the highest point in Haute-Garonne, surpassing the elevation of neighboring Pointe de Literole.
