The Pic d’Orhy is the highest point in the Basque Country at 2,017 meters above sea level. It offers an incredible panorama of the Bay of Biscay, the Pic d’Anie, Béarn and the first peaks of the Pyrenees. From Larrau, the ascent is along a sharp and arid ridge which remains accessible.

The path connects with the normal route up from the Larrau pass and ends the ascent on the west side of the peak. The top has a geodesic vertex and a beautiful metal mailbox dedicated to the legend of the “orhi” bird, which has quite a presence and meaning in the mythology and popular music of Navarrese folklore. The summit is a spectacular corridor with large lateral abysses and extraordinary views. The descent follows the ridge to the south and descends along a clear path with a fairly steep slope until it connects with the main route and the GR-12 path. This section is a great reward for the effort made to overcome the thousand meters of positive elevation gain from the Irati forest to the top.
