Pic de Risoul, Mountain summit in Ariège, France.

The Pic de Risoul reaches an elevation of 1,373 meters and features prominent siliceous rock formations shaped by ancient glacial activity.

The mountain path follows the historic GR 10 trail, which has connected Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts through the Pyrenees since the mid-20th century.

The summit stands within the Regional Natural Park of the Ariège Pyrenees, where traditional mountain communities maintain their connection to the landscape.

Hikers can access the peak from Goulier village via a marked trail that leads to Col de Risoul, requiring approximately one hour of walking.

The north face drops 600 meters above Vicdessos town, while two via ferrata routes traverse the western ridge for climbing enthusiasts.
