Midi d’Ossau, French Pyrenees, Guided Ascent

While every mountain is unique, some peaks simply stand apart more than others. And the midi d’Ossau (2,884m), in the French Pyrenees, is definitely one of those peaks that stands apart.

Due to the Midi d’Ossau’s powerful individualism, it has become a symbolic mountain in the French Pyrenees. As a result, it has also become a very popular peak for climbers from around the world.

There are different ways we can scale this great mountain. One option is, for the purpose of acclimatization, that we make our way up to the Sallent de Gallego refuge, where we will spend the night, and climb to the summit the following day. Another option, for those who are already acclimatized and want a bigger challenge, is to ascend and descend the mountain in the same day. Regardless of which option you choose, you will get to enjoy a thrilling, challenging and unforgettable climbing experience.

Due to the size of the Midi d’Ossau, as well as the difficult spots it possesses, participants on this trip should have prior climbing experience. They should also be in good physical condition as well.

Reaching the summit of the Midi d’Ossau is a worthwhile accomplishment for any mountaineer. It is a sensational mountain that offers the kind of beauty you have to see to believe. If you would like to undergo this exciting adventure, just send me a request.
