Pic d'Ansabère

Pic d'Ansabère, Mountain peak in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France.

The Pic d'Ansabère, also called pic de Pétragème or Petrechema, is a Pyrenean summit of 2377 metres in the Aspe valley, part of the Lescun cirque. Its upper part is a steep light grey limestone wall with horizontal strata, a jagged crest on the left and a rounded summit on the right; below lie broken rock faces, ledges and loose scree with scattered green patches. A deep breach separates it from the Grande aiguille d'Ansabère.

The first recorded ascent of Pic d'Ansabère was made in 1923 by Armand Calame and Lucien Carrive. The two climbers died shortly afterwards while attempting the Grande aiguille d'Ansabère, the needle separated from the summit by a deep breach. The peak itself remains accessible to ordinary hikers, while the needle is reached only by difficult climbing routes.

The summit is known as Petrechema or Petrachema in Spanish and Aragonese, and as Ansabère or Pétragème in French. The peak stands beside the Grande Aiguille d'Ansabère, separated from it by a deep breach; the needle is reached only by difficult climbing routes, while the peak itself is walkable for ordinary hikers.

The hike from Pont de Lamary is demanding and takes roughly 6 hours over about 11 kilometers with a significant elevation gain. Sturdy footwear and sure-footedness are essential since the terrain is steep and rocky in many sections.

The peak is separated from the Grande Aiguille d'Ansabère by a deep breach, and while the summit itself is reachable by ordinary hikers, the needle beside it can only be climbed by difficult rock routes. The first ascent of the Pic d'Ansabère was made in 1923 by Armand Calame and Lucien Carrive, who died shortly afterwards while climbing the Grande Aiguille.
