Pic de Bergons

Pic de Bergons is a mountain summit in the Pyrenees standing at 1,462 meters above sea level. The ascent winds through varied landscapes with forests, open grasslands, and exposed rock formations.

This peak served as a key waypoint for seasonal livestock migration across the Pyrenees for centuries. Shepherds followed established routes connecting lower valleys to high mountain pastures during summer months.

Local shepherds maintained specific seasonal migration patterns through these mountain paths, establishing a network of routes across the Hautes-Pyrénées region.

The hike starts at the Astès parking area at about 900 meters elevation and follows a clear trail from there. Weather conditions can change rapidly at altitude, so carrying layers and checking forecasts before you go is important.

From the summit, the panorama spans from the Gavarnie Cirque to distant peaks including Mont Perdu and the Ardiden Massif. On clear days, hikers can see multiple mountain ranges at once, revealing the strategic position of this peak.
