Pic des Spijeoles, Mountain peak in the Pyrenees range, France.

Pic des Spijeoles reaches an elevation of 3065 meters and forms a natural border between the Haute-Garonne and Hautes-Pyrénées departments in France.

The first recorded ascent of the mountain occurred on June 30, 1880, when Henry Russell and guide Firmin Barrau established the normal route.

The mountain's name derives from Gascon language 'eths picholes', which references the small streams flowing down the mountain slopes.

The ascent from Granges d'Astau requires a 2000-meter elevation gain, with most hikers choosing to stay overnight at Refuge d'Espingo.

The trail passes through multiple ecological zones, incorporating Lac d'Oô and providing extensive views across the Luchon Valley.
