Punta del Ibón

Located at an elevation of 3100 meters, Punta del Ibón rises between Spain and France, offering routes through rocky terrain and steep slopes.

The mountain became a documented climbing destination during the mid-20th century, when mountaineers started mapping systematic routes to its peak.

Local communities in both Spanish Gistaín and French Hautes-Pyrénées maintain mountain climbing traditions through organized events and guided expeditions.

Climbers access the summit via multiple marked trails from Pont de Prat, requiring advanced mountaineering skills and proper equipment for high-altitude conditions.

The peak forms part of the Bachimala Ridge system, connecting several 3000-meter summits that can be traversed in a single expedition.
