Grand Barbat, Mountain summit in Hautes-Pyrénées, France.
The Grand Barbat rises to 2,813 meters and features granite and grassy passages along its 18-kilometer ascent route from Lake Estaing.
The slopes of Grand Barbat have served as traditional grazing grounds for Pyrenean shepherds across generations, establishing important pastoral routes.
Local communities around Grand Barbat maintain traditional mountain farming practices, preserving centuries-old methods of high-altitude livestock management.
The climb requires careful preparation with appropriate equipment, including crampons in snowy conditions, and sufficient water supplies for the journey.
From the peak, visitors can observe the Cambalès lakes forming a sequence of natural mirrors at different elevations in the Pyrenean landscape.
