    Hiking

    A few steps from the border which separates France from Spain, is the peak of Montcalm. At 3,077 meters high, it is one of the largest peaks in Ariège. It offers an impressive view of the French side.
    Translated by
    A well-known 3000-meter peak entirely on the French side, with a flat summit (and bivouac stone walls).
    There are four ascent routes:
    -from the east from the Étang de Soulcem (T4)
    -from the north via the Refuge du Pinet (T3+)
    -from the northeast (steep T4+ gully, dangerous in icy conditions)
    -from the Spanish side (south) with an easy intermediate descent (T3+)


    Designed as a "mountain hiking" highlight, as some tours go beyond simple "hiking." I combined the tour with the Sotllo (T4+).
