Pic Gourdon

Pic Gourdon rises at an elevation of 3034 meters in the French Pyrenees, featuring red stone buttresses and steep rocky slopes leading to its peak.

The mountain paths include former mining routes, with remaining equipment and structures that indicate industrial activities from past centuries in this high-altitude region.

Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional climbing routes and organize regular expeditions to preserve knowledge of the mountain's various access paths.

The ascent requires technical climbing equipment, proper navigation tools, and advanced mountain experience due to exposed sections and variable weather conditions.

The summit connects to an aerial miners' path that crosses through a small chimney near the west wall of Tusse de Montarqué.
