Английская Википедия:Estaragne
The Estaragne (Pic d'Estaragne) is a French pyrenean summit, culminating at Шаблон:Convert m.[1][2]
Topography
The peak is located in the Hautes-Pyrénées department, in the Néouvielle massif, near Saint-Lary-Soulan in the Pyrenees National Park and near the Néouvielle National Nature Reserve.
History
The etymology of the name "Estaragne" is obscure, although there is a small valley and stream with the same name just to the northeast of the peak.[3][4]
Ecology
The peak itself is bare, but the upper slopes have a sub-alpine climate. Meadows predominate with patches of trees and shrubs.[5] Snow cover usually starts in late October and lasts until June.[6] the most common shrubs are Rhododendron ferrugineum and Vaccinium myrtillus; and the most common grasses are Nardus stricta and Festuca eskia.[5]
Access
There are at least two relatively easy summer access routes:[2]
- From the east, the shorter route, starts by leaving the sharp turn of the D 929 at the bridge crossing over the Estaragne stream, it then ascends the small hollow and turns southwards up to the col d'Estaragne.
- From the north, starting at the Cap de Long Lake, the longer route advances up valley of the Cap de Long creek.
