Pic Heid, Mountain summit in Hautes-Pyrénées, France.

Pic Heid reaches an elevation of 3022 meters and features limestone formations that characterize the mountainous ranges of the Hautes-Pyrénées department.

The peak received its name from Maurice Heid, a French cartographer and mountain explorer who documented the Pyrenees in the early 20th century.

The mountain marks the natural boundary between the Adour and Garonne river basins, two major waterways that shape the regional geography.

Hikers can reach the summit during summer months by following marked trails from surrounding valleys within the national park boundaries.

Geological studies indicate that the limestone rocks of Pic Heid date back to the Devonian period, approximately 400 million years ago.
