Serre Mourene, Mountain summit in the Pyrenees at the border of Hautes-Pyrénées, France and Huesca, Spain.
Serre Mourene is a summit of the Munia massif in the central Pyrenees, on the Franco-Spanish watershed between the cirques of Troumouse and Barrosa, reaching 3,090 m. It is the second highest summit of the massif after the pic de la Munia. Its upper slopes are loose grey rock and scree, cut by a sharp ridge on the left and a shadowed gully on the right, with snow patches holding on the face.
Serre Mourene lies on the Pyrenean watershed between the cirques of Troumouse and Barrosa, on the Franco-Spanish border. It is the second highest summit of the massif de la Munia, after the pic de la Munia, and stands between the summits of la Munia and Troumouse. Its elevation is given as 3,090 m, or 3,093 m with a prominence of 62 m in Spanish sources.
The summit sits on the Pyrenean watershed between the cirques of Troumouse and Barrosa, and its names follow the border: Serre Mourène in French, Sierra Morena in Spanish, Punta de las Loseras in Aragonese. It is the second highest summit of the massif de la Munia, after the pic de la Munia.
The ascent requires climbing equipment and alpine experience, especially due to rocky passages and steep sections. The best time for climbing is during summer months when weather conditions are more stable and snow coverage diminishes.
With only 62 m of prominence, Serre Mourene is a secondary summit of the Munia massif, not a primary one; the pic de la Munia, its higher neighbour, rises to 3,134 m. The 3,090 m figure is the rounded reading of its 3,093 m Spanish measurement.
