Mount Orhy,, is a mountain at the border of Navarre, and Soule, in the western Pyrenees, and is high. It is the westernmost peak above in the entire range, and the tallest mountain of the province of Soule. Its grassy slopes are used as pastures.
The name Orhy originates from Basque orre, meaning Juniper.
