Ahintziaga, Mountain summit on French-Spanish border, Baztan and Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry, France and Spain.
The 905-meter Ahintziaga mountain marks the boundary between Baztan Valley and Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry, featuring dense forests and open meadows along its slopes.
The mountain has served as a natural border marker between France and Spain since the establishment of the Pyrenean boundary treaty in 1856.
Local Basque shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on Ahintziaga's slopes, continuing centuries-old agricultural methods passed through generations.
Hiking trails to Ahintziaga's summit start from Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry, with clear path markers and a gradual ascent suitable for intermediate hikers.
The summit provides simultaneous views of both French Basse-Navarre and Spanish Navarra regions, creating a natural observation point between two nations.
