Ichtauz, Mountain peak in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France.
Ichtauz is a mountain peak in the Pyrenees-Atlantiques rising to 1024 meters with green slopes crossed by walking trails. The landscape consists of open grasslands and grazing areas that invite exploration.
For many generations, shepherds and their flocks have used the mountain pastures of Ichtauz during the summer months. This pastoral tradition shaped the landscape and local life over centuries.
The mountain sits in French Basque Country, where local people call it Itxauz in their traditional language. This name reflects the deep connection between Basque culture and this part of the Pyrenees.
Several marked trails lead to and from the summit, passing through grazing areas and mountain terrain. The best time to visit is from spring through fall, when trails are dry and easier to walk.
From the summit, visitors can observe a broad panorama that includes French valleys and surrounding mountain ridges. The vantage point also offers chances to watch bird migrations during certain seasons.
