Pic d'Anie

Pic d'Anie reaches an elevation of 2507 meters with a distinctive pyramidal shape rising above the Lescun cirque in the French Pyrenees.

The mountain stands as the first peak exceeding 2500 meters from the Atlantic Ocean, marking a significant geographic reference point throughout regional history.

The summit carries dual names, with local Basque communities referring to it as Auñamendi, reflecting the multicultural heritage of this French-Spanish border region.

The ascent begins at Refuge de L'Abérouat at 1442 meters elevation and requires a 14-kilometer trek with 1250 meters of elevation gain over six hours.

The peak overlooks the Larra-Belagua karst landscape, where limestone formations create distinct geological patterns characteristic of the Western Pyrenees.
