Pic du Montaigu, Mountain summit in Hautes-Pyrénées, France.

Pic du Montaigu reaches 2339 meters in elevation and features two peaks of equal height overlooking the Lesponne Valley in the French Pyrenees.

The initial documented climbs of Pic du Montaigu occurred during the 19th century when geographers conducted systematic mapping of the French Pyrenees.

The name Montaigu derives from the Occitan word 'mountagut', reflecting the regional linguistic heritage in naming Pyrenean mountain features.

The ascent from Chiroulet requires five hours of hiking, while the route through Magenta waterfall takes two hours to reach the summit.

A marble memorial plaque dedicated to David Casnabet stands at the summit, with additional ex-votos hidden within the rock crevices.
