Agulla Tourrat

Agulla Tourrat is a mountain peak in the Néouvielle massif within the French high Pyrenees, rising to approximately 3,014 meters. The massif contains multiple summits and rock formations that shape this alpine landscape.

This peak was first documented in geographic surveys during the 19th century as French cartographers systematically mapped the high Pyrenees. Its prominence grew following the establishment of Pyrénées National Park, which opened the region for research and mountaineering.

Climbers from surrounding regions value this peak for its challenge and position within an important alpine area. Its name reflects the linguistic diversity of the Pyrenees.

Reaching this summit requires substantial mountain experience and solid climbing skills, particularly on the steep rock sections. Visitors should wait for stable weather conditions, as strong winds and snow can quickly make the terrain impassable.

The peak holds different names across the region, reflecting its position at the intersection of three languages. Climbers know it by French, Catalan, and Basque versions of its name, highlighting its location at cultural boundaries.
