Pyrenex: Le Pic du Midi de Bigorre
A meeting at the summit
The backdrop for the Pyrenex FW2021 and FW2122 campaigns, the Pic du Midi de Bigorre, located in the Pyrenees, rises to an altitude of 2,877 m. This iconic landmark in the Pyrenean range is home to an astronomical observatory that rises above a spectacular sea of clouds. Le Pic du Midi is a place steeped in history where observations of the sky and the stars have never ceased since the observatory was founded in 1878. An authentic story that echoes that of Pyrenex and the 160 years of its Manufacture.
