Pic de Montaigu

The Pic du Montaigu reaches an elevation of 2,339 meters in the French Pyrenees, featuring steep rock faces and extensive views across multiple valleys.

Medieval Occitan language influenced the mountain's name, with 'mountagut' referring to the sharp, pointed shape that distinguishes this peak in the range.

A marble memorial plate and a small statue of the Virgin of Lourdes mark the summit, reflecting the regional connection to religious traditions.

Hikers can access the summit through two main routes: a five-hour trek from Chiroulet or a four-hour climb from Col du Moulata.

Small personal artifacts and memorial items rest within the rock crevices at the summit, creating an open-air collection of mountain memories.
