The Petit Vignemale is a summit in the French Pyrenees in the massif du Vignemale. Access is possible either by the Gaube valley (beyond Cauterêts), or la vallée d'Ossoue.
Vignemale is a tautological compound of two pre-Indo-European vin and mal both meaning « mountain ».
Le Petit Vignemale is located in the Hautes-Pyrénées department, near Cauterets and Gavarnie arrondissement of Argelès-Gazost in the Pyrenees National Park.
The summit is composed of sediment masses from the early Devonian period.
The first ascent was made in August 1798 by La Baumelle.
