Pic de la Sabine

Pic de la Sabine stands at 2561 meters in elevation within the Aston massif, near the Andorran border, surrounded by the peaks of Tristagne and Serrère.

During the 18th century, three minstrels marked the mountain's history by cutting down a tree to help their lover Sabine, giving the peak its current name.

The peak stands within the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Nature Park, where shepherds regularly share the Quioulès shelter with mountain hikers throughout the season.

The ascent starts at the Laparan hydroelectric plant, requires crossing two wooden footbridges, and follows stone markers to the summit over 20 kilometers.

The Quioulès mountain shelter, positioned at 1611 meters elevation, provides ten sleeping spots for hikers and serves as an essential rest point before the final climb.
