Mount Baigura, Mountain summit in Labourd, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France

Mount Baigura rises to 897 meters and forms the highest point north of the Nive river basin. Its slopes are covered in grassland and rock formations, creating a prominent summit with views across the surrounding Pyrenean landscape.

The name Baigura is explained from Basque ibai (river) and guren (limit), 'the end of the valley', though the French article also proposes ibai gura. The summit is the highest point of a small isolated pre-Pyrenean massif between the former provinces of Labourd and Lower Navarre, north of the Nive and Bidouze basins. Radio transmitters now stand near the top.

The name Baigura is linked to Basque words for river and valley, interpreted as "the end of the valley". The summit carries radio transmitters, and the leisure centre of the SIVU Bai Gurea on the col between Hélette and Louhossoa organises paragliding on the northern slope, mountain hiking and descents by all-terrain scooter.

The summit can be reached on foot from Heraitze in Hélette, passing the St. Vincent chapel (Bixintxoko kapera), or from the Baïgura leisure centre on the col between Hélette and Louhossoa, in the commune of Mendionde. The Haltzamendi (818 m), which extends the massif southward, is reached from Bidarray.

A paragliding launch site on the northern slope allows enthusiasts to take flight from this peak over the surrounding landscape. This use alongside hiking gives the mountain a distinctive dual role in local recreation.
