The best hikes selected by François Laurens, high mountain guide, to discover the Mont-Perdu massif, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Mont Perdu is only the third highest peak in the Pyrenees, but at 3,355 m it sits at the center of a series of geological structures, each more exceptional than the last. This series, spanning Spain and France, forms the Pyrenees – Mont Perdu site, listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1997, both as a natural and a cultural landscape. The Mont Perdu massif, in addition to the summit itself, encompasses the cirques of Gavarnie, Estaubé, Troumouse and Baroude, the valleys of Ordesa and Pineta, the canyons of Anisclo and the gorges of Escuain.
