Pic des Gourgs Blancs, Granite summit in the Pyrenees at Haute-Garonne, France
The Pic des Gourgs Blancs reaches an elevation of 3129 meters and forms part of the border between France and Spain in the central Pyrenees.
Count Henry Russell and mountain guide Haurillon from Luchon completed the first recorded ascent of this Pyrenean peak in 1864.
The name Gourgs Blancs derives from the lakes on the French northern slope, which display a distinct milky blue color.
The main route starts from the Portillon mountain hut at 2570 meters, requiring technical climbing skills and appropriate mountaineering equipment.
The peak marks the watershed between the Garonne basin flowing to the Atlantic and the Ebro basin flowing to the Mediterranean Sea.
