Pic Badet, Mountain summit in Hautes-Pyrénées, France
Pic Badet is a mountain summit in the Néouvielle massif located in the Hautes-Pyrénées, rising to 3,160 meters above sea level. Its position provides expansive views across the surrounding Pyrenean ranges and mountain lakes.
The mountain has long served as a natural boundary between the water basins of the Adour River to the west and the Garonne River to the east. This geographic feature has made it a significant landmark in the mountain landscape for ages.
Local mountain communities maintain traditional practices of climbing and hiking through established routes, passing knowledge between generations of mountaineers.
Access to this peak starts from the Cap de Long dam, following marked hiking trails with sections of moderate climbing. The round trip takes roughly 7 to 8 hours, so bring plenty of water and weather-resistant clothing.
On clear days, the summit offers views of both the Pyrenees National Park and the Néouvielle National Nature Reserve in a single vantage point. This dual perspective makes it an exceptional observation point for the region's protected areas.
