The Pic du Midi: The Pyrenees’ Sentinel

When approaching the Pyrenees, this jagged wall of snow-capped peaks, one of them immediately catches your eye: the Pic du Midi. Scientific sentinel and emblem of the Pyrenees, it is the witness of a long natural history and a formidable human adventure. However, the best kept secret of the Pic does not reside inside the Observatory, where scientists carry out the most advanced research, but on the slopes of the massif, from its foothills to its summit, where an unsuspected wild life abounds. Seas of clouds as far as the eye can see, deafening storms or merciless winters, we are here in the front row of an incredible wild spectacle.
