Pic de Garlitz

Pic de Garlitz reaches an elevation of 2,798 meters and consists primarily of crystalline schist, forming part of the Néouvielle massif in the southern Pyrenees.

Glaciers shaped the landscape around Pic de Garlitz over millennia, creating the natural cirque that now contains Lake Catchet to the west of the peak.

The peak stands as a central element in the Pyrenean tradition of hiking and mountaineering, drawing mountain enthusiasts from across France and beyond.

Access to Pic de Garlitz requires proper mountain equipment and follows a T4-grade alpine trail starting from Lake Catchet through the mountain terrain.

The peak remains snow-covered for nearly ten months each year, creating specific conditions for local wildlife, including the bearded vulture population.
