The Pic d'Anie ( Basque Auñamendi , also outdated Ahuñemendi , from ahuña / ahüñe = “kid”) is a 2507 m , according to other sources only 2504 m high mountain in the French Pyrenees. It is the westernmost summit of the Pyrenees, which towers above the 2,500 m limit.
location
The Pic d'Anie is in the south of France in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques in the region Nouvelle-Aquitaine . It rises only a few kilometers from the Spanish border in the Pyrenees National Park from the Karst de Larra karst plateau , which includes one of the largest cart fields in Europe. The Pic d'Anie can be reached both from the French side from Lescun and from Col de la Pierre Saint Martin on the border. The only refuge in the area, the Refuge Labérouat ( 1442 m ) east of Berg , often serves as a base . The normal route leads easily over the southwest side to the summit. This climb is also a popular ski tour in winter .
Cultural meaning
The mountain also plays a role in Basque mythology . According to legend, the fairy Maitagarri is said to have built a crystal palace on the summit, to which she brought the shepherd Luzaide , with whom she was in love. According to another legend, Jauna Gorri , the “Red Lord”, lives in his garden on the summit and sends north-east storms into the valley from there, which are called “auñ” after the Auñamendi.
