Pech de Foix is a summit in the commune of Foix, rising to 852 metres, about 69 metres above the surrounding terrain, with a base roughly 1.6 kilometres wide. It lies 2.7 kilometres east of the town of Foix, and the higher Mont Fourcat stands 13.7 kilometres to the southwest. Wooded slopes cover much of the hill.

Pech de Foix is a summit of 852 metres, rising about 69 metres above the surrounding terrain, located roughly 2.7 km east of the town of Foix. The source documents record no historical events, occupation or structures on the summit; they describe only its topography, its wooded slopes and its position relative to Mont Fourcat, 13.7 km to the southwest.

The name Pech comes from the Occitan word meaning hill or ridge. This reflects how the local population has traditionally referred to the landscape that surrounds their community.

The hike starts conveniently from the SNCF train station parking area in Foix and follows a clearly marked trail. The walk is manageable on foot and offers several viewing points along the way before reaching the summit plateau.

Along the trail are educational signs explaining dry stone construction, a technique mastered by generations of farmers. This handcrafted method allowed steep hillsides to become productive farmland without using mortar or other binding materials.
