Pic de Ger, Mountain summit in Ossau Valley, France

The Pic de Ger reaches an elevation of 2,613 meters above sea level in the French Pyrenees, between Col d'Aubisque and Pic du Midi d'Ossau.

Since the late 19th century, mountaineers have explored the paths and routes of Pic de Ger, establishing its significance in French alpine history.

The name 'ger' originates from Gascon language, meaning mountain meadows, reflecting the local agricultural heritage of the Béarn province.

Hikers can access the mountain from multiple starting points including Laruns, Eaux-Bonnes, or Gourette, with trails marked for different experience levels.

Local folklore tells of Clara, who encountered a bear near the summit and threw her walking stick, creating markings still visible in the rock face.
