Pic de Soumaoute, Mountain summit in Hautes-Pyrénées, France

Pic de Soumaoute is a mountain summit in the French Pyrenees reaching about 2200 meters high, with steep rocky slopes and exposed ridges. The peak offers views across the mountain range and shares its border zone with Spain.

The peak has long served as a natural boundary marker between France and Spain, forming part of the Pyrenean range that separates the two countries. This geographic position shaped regional relations for centuries.

Local shepherds maintain traditional pastoral practices in the areas surrounding Pic de Soumaoute, continuing centuries-old methods of mountain agriculture.

The best climbing season runs from June through September when conditions are most stable and snow melts from the trails. Marked paths from Gèdre village provide clear routes to follow.

The summit's position at precisely 42°47'8.88"N and 0°0'42.12"W makes it a reference point for geographical studies of the Pyrenean mountain chain.
