Pic de Hourgade

Pic de Hourgade, Mountain peak in Haute-Garonne, France

Pic de Hourgade is a mountain summit on the border between Haute-Garonne and Hautes-Pyrénées, standing at approximately 2964 meters in the Pyrenees. The peak serves as a natural landmark separating two French regions and commands views across the surrounding mountain landscape.

The source article on Pic de Hourgade gives no documented history: its "Histoire" section is empty, and no date, surveyor or first ascent is recorded. The summit's known record is geographical — at 2964 m it is the highest point of the Hourgade chain, itself part of the Perdiguère massif, on the line between Haute-Garonne and the Hautes-Pyrénées.

The summit lies on the old pastoral boundary between the Luchonnais and the Hautes-Pyrénées. Its name, Hourgade, is a Pyrenean toponym tied to the chain of the same name within the Perdiguère massif. The peak marks the departmental border that walkers cross on the ridge.

The climb from Loudervielle is demanding and requires good fitness and mountain experience. Visitors should come equipped with sturdy hiking boots, weather protection, and plenty of water, as conditions at higher elevations can change rapidly.

Pic de Hourgade is the highest point of the Hourgade chain, which is itself part of the Perdiguère massif. The summit marks the boundary between the Luchonnais in Haute-Garonne and the Hautes-Pyrénées, so a walker on the crest stands on the line between two departments.
