Guyby

Hike in the Basque Country, 3 km from the village of Larrau. This hike offers magnificent 360° panoramic views from the summit: to the east, the Pic d'Anie, the Pic d'Ansabère, the Table des Trois Rois, etc.; to the west, the Pic d'Orhy; to the south, the Otchogorria with its antennas; and nearby to the south-west, the Otchogorrigagna.

This hike is actually a trilogy of the most beautiful places to the west and north-west of the Col d'Ibardin. The Col d'Ibardin (the French-Spanish border ridge) is well known for its ventas and restaurants, which attract many visitors all year round. But it also offers beautiful walks thanks to its tracks and hiking trails. What is proposed here is a long route that passes through the three main points of these places and offers the most beautiful views of this region over the surrounding peaks, such as the Trois Couronnes to the west and the Rhune to the east. There are also magnificent views of the ocean and the towns of Bayonne, Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Hendaye, Hondarribia, Irun, etc.

Castiello de Jaca is a municipality in Spain in the autonomous community of Aragon. This hike passes by the Ermita de San Bartolomé, reaches the ridge of the Sierra de los Ángeles and then follows it to Beldorero. The return journey is via the Collada de la Sierra and then along a section of the Way of St James.

This walk, which goes from the Étang d’Hardy to the coast via a magnificent dune forest, should be undertaken using a GPS track or a mobile app. Otherwise, you will need at least a map and a compass. There are paths that appear on the map but do not exist on the ground, and conversely, paths that exist on the ground but do not appear on the map. The route follows only paths that are marked on the map. The walk presents no technical difficulties and the paths are easy to follow.

A lovely walk along wide, comfortable paths where you can see meadows, fields, woodland, lakes, streams and even llamas. As well as some beautiful Landes-style houses.

This hike will take you up to the Petite Rhune (or even the Rhune for the more adventurous) via a route that is rarely used in places. It is classified as difficult not because of its length or elevation gain, but because of the potential difficulty in finding your way (the Visorando app is recommended) in certain sections and due to the steep, sustained gradient on the climb to Subizia (which can be avoided by going via Venta Yasola).

A very beautiful walk offering unbroken views of the mountains. Along the route, you’ll see beautiful Basque houses, woodland, pastures, horses and good paths. You will walk on very little tarmac (200 m), a little on a stony track, and on comfortable wide paths, trails and meadows. Below the summit, you can stop to study the landscape using an orientation table. In good weather, panoramic views from the summit are guaranteed, with views of the surrounding mountains and the Basque coast.

This lovely walk, through a forest of Landes pines and oaks, follows wide paths. There are a few tracks and some small roads. It can be done in all seasons, but in spring you can enjoy the broom in bloom.

A lovely circular route south of Etxalar to climb to the summit of Azkua. You’ll encounter all sorts of paths: tarmac roads, tracks, wide paths, narrow paths and even meadows. The entire ascent follows the GR®11, marked in red and white, whilst the descent takes the standard Azkua route, marked in places with yellow and white. Magnificent views from the summit and throughout the hike.

This walk takes you along good sandy paths, mostly through a varied forest of pines, oaks, chestnut trees, acacias, broom, ferns and so on... From the Chemin de Bouhette, you can admire the magnificent Moulin de Pouymartet and cross the Ruisseau de Cabanes via a narrow 30 cm bridge (easy).
