An ascent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

long and sustained<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Approx. 10 to 12 h round trip from the Artigue parking lot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Departure is from the Artigue parking lot<\/strong>, above Auzat. The route is signposted and passes by the Pinet refuge<\/strong> (2,240 m), often used as an overnight stopover. The climb then continues to the Col du Montcalm<\/strong> and the summit, with a cumulative vertical drop of around +2,100 m<\/strong>. Stamina, equipment and good weather are essential. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

An exceptional panorama<\/p>\n\n\n\n

from the top<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

View of the 3000 Ariege, the Aneto and the Spanish massifs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From the summit, the view stretches as far as the eye can see of the high Pyrenean peaks<\/strong>, including the Pic d’Estats<\/strong> (3,143 m), which can be reached in a further 45 minutes. On a clear day, you can even see the Catalan and Andorran peaks. The scenery is mineral, wild and impressive. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
