Abarratea, Mountain summit in Ayherre, France.

Abarratea reaches an elevation of 341 meters in the French Pyrenees, presenting clear views across the Adour plain and neighboring mountain peaks.

The summit served as a gaztelu, a defensive position during pre-Roman times, featuring three concentric earthen fortification rings around its peak.

The territory surrounding Abarratea represents centuries of Basque heritage, where local communities continue their traditional pastoral activities.

The summit trail extends 3.56 kilometers from the starting point near a quarry, located on the departmental road connecting Hasparren and Saint-Esteben.

Three concentric rings of earthen fortifications remain visible at the summit, marking the location of ancient defensive structures.
