The Pic du Midi is totally committed to providing a warm welcome to everyone; however, it is do still bear in mind that the site is located high up in the mountains and as such requires certain precautions to be taken. Please also note that certain health issues are not compatible with a trip at altitude.
It is your responsibility, or that of your doctor, to establish whether your state of health is compatible with a rapid ascent to almost 3000 metres. Especially:
Pregnant women
People with a history of heart problems
Children under the age of three*
*Why not take toddlers ?
The inner ear of children under the age of three years old is not developed enough to withstand the change in pressure that comes with the speed of the ascent. The 1077 metres between La Mongie and the Pic du Midi is actually covered in less than 15 minutes.
From the age of three onwards, the ear reacts naturally allowing the child to carry out the ascent with no problem.
Not allowed:
Our four-legged friends are not permitted at the summit.
For everyone’s comfort, picnics are not permitted
