Pic d'Arriel, Mountain peak at 2824 meters in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France.

Pic d'Arriel stands between France and Spain, with its northern face overlooking the Arrémoulit refuge and its southern side facing the Arriel lakes.

The first recorded ascent of this mountain peak occurred in 1851 when geodesist Henri Saget reached the summit during his surveys.

The mountain belongs to the Balaïtous massif, forming part of the natural border that separates French and Spanish territories in the Pyrenees.

The climb starts from Caillou de Socques parking area, involving a 14-kilometer trek with an elevation gain of 1400 meters through marked paths.

The summit presents two distinct climbing options, leading either to Petit Arriel or continuing toward Grand Arriel through the Sobe pass.
