Pica d'Estats

Nature · Alins, Pallars Sobirà, Lleida

The Pica d'Estats, also called Pui de Sotllo, is a mountain of 3143.45 metres located in the axial Pyrenees, on the border between Pallars Sobirà and the French department of Ariège, at the head of the Vall Ferrera and the Sotllo valley, within the Alt Pirineu Natural Park. It is the highest point of the Montcalm massif and is made up of three close peaks: the central one, the highest; the western one, or Verdaguer peak, at 3129 metres; and the eastern one, or punta de Gabarró, at 3114.6 metres, with a geodesic marker. The south face, cut by gullies, drops towards the coma d'Estats, forming the glacial cirque of the estany d'Estats. The ridge linking the pic de Sotllo, the Pica d'Estats and the pic Rodó de Canalbona marks the border with France. Included in the FEEC's challenge of the 100 peaks.
