The climb is steep, but manageable. The view from up there, stretching far into France, is definitely worth it!

Solar viewpoint on the Peyraguils pass or summit, a metal structure that allows a 360° view of the valleys of the Andorran Pyrenees and the Aran Valley, with views of Aneto.

I think making this peak a highlight of my run is quite a challenge. Taking the easiest route via the Refuge de Pinet would be at least challenging mountain trail running. Inexperienced runners should definitely be aware of the altitude and terrain.

Here again: Someone is rating ALL photos of highlights in this region (Northwest Pyrenees) "not accurate," even though they accurately depict the location? Why does anyone need to do that? Is it jealousy? Does someone want to drag down others' "expert" ratings? How pathetic.

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+).

I created the summit myself as a "highlight" for mountain hiking, as my chosen long loop, including the Pic de Sotllo, was a bit more challenging. The "normal route" via the Refuge de Pinet is technically easier and lacks any real climbing. However, I find the mountain hiking category more appropriate due to the altitude and terrain. Unfortunately, Komoot makes my highlight invisible to others on the map. As has happened with several of my previous highlights in other regions, where I marked the only point.

This 3000-meter peak on the French side of the Pyrenees' main ridge is relatively easy to reach via the Refuge de Pinet, but requires a significant elevation gain from the parking lot. Therefore, using the hut is recommended; it also has a room open in winter (€8 unattended). Another ascent from the northeast allows for a "crossing," but it has a steep gully (which, when icy, almost caused me a nasty fall in October 2014). A third ascent option leads from the east, from the reservoir, over the shared pass with the Pica d'Estats. Needless to say, there's a fantastic view from the summit. Only the view to the south is limited by the slightly higher Pica d'Estats, which is why hikers with good fitness and surefootedness are recommended to climb the latter from the shared pass.

The highest mountain of Andorra can be climbed from the country as a day trip. However, you should be careful, as experienced hikers have already made mistakes. 😜 And it's a long way to Spain or France... The easiest climb is rated T3 according to the SAC. I went a little north-east over the summit on the way down and descended there. A little more challenging (T4), but in this case the scree in the upper area made it easier to descend. I saw a few salamanders here.
