Pic de Médécourbe — Local services in Foix

You can start from the village in the valley. Either with paid parking a bit higher up, or free parking a bit further down. The first part is very straight forward, although I found the way quiet tiring to do. Its very rocky in parts and basically just goes up pretty steep most of the time. At some point you'll reach a valley with a lake and a rifugio. From there, a narrow part will move along the slopes of the hill. There's a part where you'll need to pass a stream higher up, where I found no way not to go into the water. Waterproof footwear is recommended. At my visit mid-june 24 there were several glaciers at the higher parts of the hike, but manageable. The lakes up were frozen and the hillside covered by a passable glacier, it was just a bit of work. Then you'll reach a part where you can cross over to a valley in spain. There's a path going up the mountain there as well. I found the way quiet elusive. Manageable, but I lost it for sure, since I ended up on a part just below the peak on the east side of the mountain.

In total, it's a Daytrip for sure. Many seem to use the rifugio, I did not find that necessary, its possible to do in one day. Some parts may be more challenging for some than others and you should know your capabilities, but it's a...

En aquest cim hi conflueixen les fronteres de 3 països, cosa que el fa ser una mica especial. L'accés és molt llarg i cal superar un considerable desnivell, 1.300m si es puja des d'Arinsal. El camí no presenta especials dificultats llevat el tram final, passat el coll dels estanys Forcats, amb algun pas on cal ajudar-se amb les mans (no crec que passin del I grau) i algun tram amb una...

L'ascens és una grimpada guapa però no gaire difícil i amb unes vistes molt guapes, i mola saber que es el punt on s'uneixen les fronteres de Catalunya,...
