Pic de Cagire, Mountain summit in Haute-Garonne, France.
Pic de Cagire is a mountain summit in the French Pyrenees standing near 1900 meters. It sits between the communes of Juzet-d'Izaut and Sengouagnet with a distinctive forward position along the mountain range.
The mountain has been documented since at least the 1800s with various local interpretations of its past. Early reports about ancient stone structures near the summit sparked speculation about its significance in the region.
The name Cagire comes from proto-Basque language roots referring to stone and heights. Local people in nearby villages have long viewed this peak as a defining landmark in their landscape.
The best time to visit is between late spring and early fall when weather is more stable and trails are passable. Starting from the Col de Buret parking area provides a straightforward approach through forest terrain.
The peak stands out as visible from the distant Toulouse plain despite being lower than many nearby summits. This forward position makes it recognizable on the horizon for travelers across a wide area.
