Abaltzisketa walks

A superb circular route in the karst massif of the Sierra de Aralar to reach Ganboa (or Ganbo, 1,413 m), the highest point in the area. A few slightly technical sections; please read the description carefully. GPS or the Visorando app recommended.

An atypical course, with a gradient reminiscent of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "snake that swallowed an elephant". The climb up the stairs may be a little rough, but the journey along the canal is very pleasant.

A beautiful hike with magnificent views from Erlo and Xoxote. The first part is steep, climbing up to Erlo on a rocky path. You can picnic at the Xoxote refuge, which serves drinks, sandwiches and coffee (open from April to mid-October except Mondays).

A beautiful circular route in the Natural Park starting from the Lukun area, with the option of having a picnic at the start or end of the hike. The path passes by the Agorregi forge and mills as it circles the Iturraran.

This easy circular is known as SL-GI-1002 Sagarraren Bidea (the Apple Route in Basque). Sagarno, literally "apple wine", is an iconic product of the Basque Country that can be enjoyed in cider houses (Sagardotegia).

Cette boucle est connue sous l'appellation PR®-GI-1002 Igoringo trikuharriak, soit les dolmens d'Igorin en basque. La présence de nombreuses palombières recommande d'éviter ce trajet à l'automne en période de chasse.

A circular route starting from the village of Orio at the mouth of the river of the same name. It will allow you to admire the coastline before returning to the town via narrow streets that are well worth exploring.

This short hike allows you to discover some of the sights of the town of Zarautz, including its famous beach and a few historical monuments. It is therefore a semi-urban hike. The first part takes place in the town. The second part takes you through Vista Alegre Park, where you climb to higher ground and quickly leave the town behind. The return journey is through the forest.

A magnificent hike along the coastline with its schist cliffs via the GR® 121 trail. However, it is quite physically demanding with 650 metres of elevation gain and a distance of 16 km. Return by train for €2.90. The hike is also known as the Flysch Route.

We start by climbing to the summit of Munagirre (781 m), then follow a path through streams, small waterfalls and a beech forest, discovering the fairly recent ruins of the old Artikutza train, or very old ruins with cromlechs and superb views, either of the coast or of the peaks of the Three Crowns.

Lovely walk with views of San Sebastian, the Basque coast, the Trois Couronnes, La Rhune and a visit to a remarkable cromlech site.

The Fort of San Marco is a military construction located at the top of Mount Bizarain at an altitude of 260 metres. It was built in 1880, near the village of Errenteria, to defend San Sebastián and the region from French attacks by land and sea. It is an excellent vantage point offering beautiful views of San Sebastián, Pasaia and Txingudi Bay. The hike described here also offers the chance to discover some dolmens and take trails that are somewhat hidden in the forest. It may be useful to bring pruning shears to cut back any brambles or ferns that may have invaded the path.

Circular path in a natural park to Lake Artikutza (dry) via thePR®®-NA-124 Eskas - Artikutza trail.

In San-Sebastian, make a detour to Monte Urgull, with its fortress, monumental Christ (it's Rio) and view of Santa-Klara Island and the bay. Return to Amara station and take the TOPO to Hendaye.

Superb hike for passing a lovely afternoon and enjoying an evening in old San Sebastien, eating tapas and pintxos.

A beautiful loop on the southern tip of the Jaizkibel above Pasaia. The first part of the route passes through the town of Pasaia via charming narrow streets. The route then passes along a steep path and returns to the village along a narrow road.

Short walk around the Arditurri mines.Lovely undergrowth with numerous small streams and paths.When the weather's fine, you'll have a view of San Sebastien Bay and its rocky outcrop.

A hike around Gurutze with two peaks to climb via forest paths. But it is also a historical hike with traces of very ancient monuments or more recent ones dating from the war.

Un presque aller-retour passant par l'Agiña avec une belle vue sur les Trois Couronnes et l'Ikatzuloko Bizkarra avec une petite vue sur le Lac Domiko.

A circular walk that passes over the summit of Kopako Harria and overlooks Lake Endara.

A hike after passing the Elurretxe Pass through the forest with numerous streams and therefore sometimes muddy paths. During the hike, you will climb several peaks: Belitz, Arburu, Sardinola and Gogortegiko.

What more could you ask for in the coastal area of the Southern Basque Country: mountainous landscape, granite terrain and a ridge path! The Three Crowns massif offers three peaks to explore. We will start this route with Erroilbide, then Txurrumurru and finally Irumugarrieta. The view is magnificent, with a 360° panorama of the Southern Basque Country and the Labour coastline stretching as far as the Landes. The route along the ridge includes passages, in couloirs and on slabs, which must be negotiated with caution.Some passages require the use of your hands. There is a fixed ring on the ascent to Txurrumurru. Not suitable for those who suffer from vertigo.

A round trip to the first two summits of the Three Crowns, plus a third as a preamble. For the less adventurous, the climb to Txurrumurru requires crossing a rocky bar that can be tricky. Nevertheless, it's worth the effort to reach the narrow passage between two boulders that gives a view of Lake Endara. Going to the last summit, Erroilbide, is much trickier and requires experience, which is why it is not mentioned in this itinerary.

A lovely little hike very close to the town of Irun, but taking place entirely in the woods. In addition to breathing in the fresh air, you will visit a historical site where you can see one of the two towers that remain today, which were used to defend the town of Irun.

Very close to the town of Irun, this route takes you into the heart of nature, where you can breathe in the fresh air far from the traffic. You will climb a small hill, but you will also learn a little history as you discover an ancient tower that was once used to defend the town of Irun.

A pretty loop near the town of Irun to climb to the summit of San Martial, then on to the Ermita de San Martial with its exceptional view over the bay of Txingudi.Please note: due to the presence of numerous hunting posts, this hike should not be attempted during the pigeon hunting season.

Signposted loop on the SL-GI-1006 trail which passes at the foot of the Aitzondo waterfall and along the Irugurutzeta kilns. Apart from the incline at the start and the staircase to follow, the rest of the hike is a pleasant, mostly shaded walk with no major difficulties. The spectacle of the great waterfall is magnificent for those who manage to get close enough.

Walk from the San Martial hermitage with panoramic views on both sides of the border.To be avoided during the hunting season, as the path is lined with pigeon shoots.
