Pica d'Estats, Mountain summit at French-Spanish border in Montcalm Massif, Pyrenees.

Pica d'Estats reaches an elevation of 3,143 meters and includes three distinct peaks forming a ridge along the international boundary line.

The mountain entered mountaineering records in 1864 when Henry Russell and Jean-Jacques Denjean completed the first documented climb to its summit.

The peak holds particular importance for Catalans as the highest point in Catalonia, marking a natural frontier between French and Spanish territories.

Access to the mountain requires following routes from Lleida to Alins and Areu in Spain, or from Toulouse through local connections in France.

The summit consists of sandstone and lutite formations, with the eastern peak serving as a geodesic vertex for geographical measurements.
