Pic Heid, Mountain summit in Hautes-Pyrénées, France.
Pic Heid is a mountain summit in the Hautes-Pyrénées reaching 3022 meters in elevation. The peak displays the limestone rock formations typical of this part of the Pyrenees.
The summit was named after Maurice Heid, a French cartographer and mountain explorer who studied the Pyrenees in the early 1900s. His work documenting the region helped establish knowledge of these peaks.
The mountain marks the natural boundary between the Adour and Garonne river basins, two major waterways that shape the regional geography.
Summer months offer the best conditions for hiking, with marked trails starting from surrounding valleys and passing through the national park. Proper mountain gear and preparation are needed for this high-altitude ascent.
The limestone rocks composing this summit date back to the Devonian period, roughly 400 million years old. These ancient stone formations reveal the deep geological history that shaped the Pyrenees.
