The Pic du Midi de Bigorre rises 9,439 ft (2,877 m) high and offers a clear view over the Pyrenees. Its astronomical observatory is the highest in Europe and also the oldest high mountain observatory in the world. Astronomy constitutes the most significant field of scientific investigation of the Pic du Midi in the Hautes-Pyrénées department. Each year, the site also welcomes around 135,000 visitors attracted by the panorama over the mountain range.
