Pic du Taillon, Mountain summit in Monte Perdido Range, France and Spain
The Pic du Taillon rises to 3,144 meters above sea level, forming a natural border between France and Spain within the Pyrenees mountain chain.
Captain Vicente de Heredia completed the first documented ascent of Pic du Taillon in 1792, followed by Henri Brulle and Célestin Passet scaling the northern face in 1895.
The mountain stands at the intersection of two national parks: the French Pyrenees National Park and the Spanish Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park.
Climbers access the summit through marked trails from Col des Tentes, following the route to Col de Boucharo and continuing past the Refuge des Sarradets.
The summit position offers views extending across four mountain ranges: Monte Perdido, Vignemale, Néouvielle, and the distant Pic du Midi de Bigorre.
