Tuc de Biscarrague, Mountain summit in Briscous, France

The Tuc de Biscarrague rises 91 meters above sea level in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region, overlooking the Ardanavy Valley and its tributary to the Adour River.

The geological formation of the summit dates back to the Cenomanian and Albian periods, consisting of Mixe flysch with alternating clay and sandstone layers.

The name Bizkarraga combines Gascon word 'tuc' meaning height and Basque root 'bizkar' referring to ridge locations, reflecting the local linguistic heritage.

Temperatures range from 8°C in winter to 20°C in summer, with increased precipitation during winter storms affecting the mountain slopes.

The southern slope features ophites, ancient rocks that differ from the rest of the mountain formation.
