Aiguille Jean Garnier

The summit reaches an elevation of 3025 meters and stands prominently within the Perdiguero massif of the Pyrenees mountain range between Spain and France.

Local mountaineers began documenting climbing routes to Aiguille Jean Garnier during the late 19th century, establishing its importance in alpine exploration history.

The summit bears different names across languages, including Aguja Jean Garnier in Spanish and Jean Garnier Orratza in Basque, reflecting the regional linguistic diversity.

Climbers can access multiple established trails leading to the summit, with nearby accommodation options available in mountain huts throughout the Benasque valley.

The peak maintains a prominence of only 10 meters despite its considerable height, positioned southeast of the Eastern Crabioules peak in the Perdiguero massif.
