Kartxela, Mountain summit in Roncal-Erronkari Valley, Spain

The Kartxela mountain reaches an elevation of 1982 meters with a prominence of 447 meters, marking the border between Navarre in Spain and Soule in France.

The paths around Kartxela contain remnants of ancient shepherd shelters that document centuries of pastoral activities across these Pyrenean mountain slopes.

The mountain stands as a symbol of cross-border connections between Spanish and French communities, with trails used by local inhabitants from both nations.

Hikers can access Kartxela through the D113 road and follow the GR10 trail near Pont d'Enfer, with the Belagoa refuge serving as a base point.

The northern approach through Gorges de Kakueta presents a challenging 1600-meter elevation change, while offering views of peaks like Soumcouy and Anie.
