Vignemale - Authentic alpinism
With 3.298m, it is the highest peak in the French Pyrenees. We suggest two 2-day routes sleeping in the mountain huts of Oulettes de Gaube or Baycellance. In the very last part, we will climb through some decomposed rock (II), a small aerial arête and a beautiful glacier crossing.
Route of great dimensions and very alpine, full of history and adventures. An absolute gem where you should not underestimate its difficulty.
