Lakhura, Mountain summit in Soule and Navarre, France and Spain
Lakhura is a mountain summit that straddles the border between France and Spain, connecting the Soule region with Navarre. Several hiking routes traverse its slopes, linking different regions through varied terrain and elevations.
Since medieval times, the mountain has served as a crossing point between the two nations, used regularly by merchants and pastoral groups. This role as a connection route influenced the region for centuries.
Shepherds still move their flocks across the slopes seasonally, keeping alive a way of life that has shaped the region for hundreds of years. You can observe this pastoral rhythm when visiting during summer and autumn months.
Reaching the summit requires mountaineering experience and proper gear due to the challenging terrain and steep sections. Start early in the day to allow enough daylight for the full route and changing mountain weather.
The southern face displays three prominent peaks arranged side by side, creating a striking natural formation. These three summits - Cortaplana, Lakora West, and Lakora East - give the mountain its distinctive profile when viewed from below.
