Pic des Redouneilles, Mountain summit in Ariège, France.

The Pic des Redouneilles rises to 2,485 meters in the French Pyrenees, featuring a wide westward-sloping plateau that offers panoramic views over glacial lakes and surrounding peaks including Pic de Saint-Barthélemy and Pic du Pas de Chien.

The sources record no wartime role for the Pic des Redouneilles; its documented history is one of pastoral use. The route to the summit passes the Jasse de Neych, a pastoral hut on the lake cirque, and the cabane d'Auruzan (1,620 m) on the descent, both tied to seasonal grazing in the Vicdessos valley. The summit itself is a broad, west-tilted plateau rather than a peak, on the territory of Siguer.

The summit's name comes from the Redouneilles lakes below it: the étang des Redouneilles des vaches (2,127 m) and the étang des Redouneilles des brebis (2,228 m), named for the cows and ewes that grazed there. The pastoral hut of the Jasse de Neych, passed on the descent through the Neych lake cirque, marks the summer grazing grounds of Siguer shepherds.

Hikers can reach the summit via a marked trail starting from Bouychet parking area, following a challenging 6.5-hour route with 1,550 meters of elevation gain that passes several glacial lakes and requires proper mountain equipment.

The summit is not a peak but a broad plateau tilting west, so the highest point is easy to walk across. The glacial lakes below carry names separating herds: Redouneilles des vaches at 2,127 m and des brebis at 2,228 m. The Pyrenean desman, a vulnerable mammal protected nationally and in Europe, lives in the area's streams.
