Pic des Gourgs, Mountain summit in Pyrenees, France
The Pic des Gourgs stands at 2,331 meters elevation in the French Pyrenees, featuring steep rocky slopes and panoramic views of surrounding peaks.
Local mountaineers established multiple climbing routes to reach the summit during the late 19th century, marking the beginning of organized alpine activities.
The name Gourgs originates from Occitan language, meaning deep lake, referring to the glacial lakes at the base of the mountain.
The ascent starts from Granges d'Astau, following marked trails through the valley before reaching the technical climbing sections near the summit.
The mountain forms a natural watershed between the Atlantic and Mediterranean basins, with distinct ecosystems on each side of the peak.
