Pointe des Aires

The Pointe des Aires summit reaches an elevation of 3028 meters in the eastern section of the Cirque de Troumouse between Col de la Sède and Col de la Munia.

The first documented explorations of the summit date back to the late nineteenth century when mountaineers began systematically mapping the Pyrenees mountain range.

The Pointe des Aires belongs to the traditional territory of Pyrenean shepherds who maintain their ancestral pastoral practices in the surrounding valleys.

Access to the summit starts from the Cirque de Troumouse road and requires complete mountaineering equipment along with good physical fitness.

Climbers can observe from the summit the distinct geological formations of the limestone massif and the remaining glaciers in the region.
