Pic de Sauvegarde, Mountain summit in Haute-Garonne, France.

Pic de Sauvegarde is a 2,737-meter (8,980 ft) peak in the Pyrenees situated along the French-Spanish border. The mountain is accessed via a marked route beginning from Hospice de France and ascending through steep switchbacks to the summit.

During the French Revolution, a young nun of the Sacré-Cœur, pursued by revolutionaries, died of exhaustion and cold on this peak. Toussaint Lézat later found a blue rosary on the slopes of Sauvegarde, and the Toulouse doctor-bibliophile Desbarreaux-Bernard claimed to reconstruct this tragic story from it, which became widely popular. Sauvegarde was the first major peak to attract tourists, visited by Luchon spa-goers from the 18th century.

The name Sauvegarde comes from a legend: during the French Revolution a young nun of the Sacré-Cœur, pursued by revolutionaries, died of exhaustion and cold on the peak. Toussaint Lézat found a blue rosary on its slopes, and the Toulouse doctor-bibliophile Desbarreaux-Bernard claimed to reconstruct the story from it. The tale became widely popular.

The route starts at the Port de Vénasque; descend a few metres on the Spanish side and take the trail on the right, slightly sloping but without major difficulty. In May and June a few snowfields remain to be crossed. The summit stands at 2,737 m on the French-Spanish border.

The summit and the lower Port de Vénasque both give an unobstructed view of the north face of the Maladeta massif. The peak is one of the highest summits of the Haut Luchonnais, listed at 2,736 or 2,737 m depending on the source.
