Aldudes walks

A lovely hike, taking in part of the western ridges of the Aldudes valley, which guarantees magnificent views.

A steep climb right from the start, along a small road, then we take the HRP and the GRT5.

This loop is a superb hike in Lower Navarre, taking you in turn to the peaks of Lindus, Xaxperro and Sorotepo. This ridge route between France and Spain offers total immersion in the open, wild landscapes of the Basque Country. Throughout the route, panoramic views of the Baigorri valley, the surrounding Basque peaks and, on a clear day, the High Pyrenees follow one after another. A complete itinerary, between high-altitude pastures, airy ridges and a pastoral atmosphere, ideal for hikers in search of tranquillity and wide open spaces.

The Adi overlooks the Urepel valley and the Quinto Real, which belonged to the kings of Navarre. The inhabitants paid a grazing fee corresponding to one-fifth of the herds, the quint.Currently reduced to 2,000 ha on the French side, but belonging to Spain, only the families of Saint-Étienne de Baïgorry have use of it. Herd owners pay a grazing fee (vacade) for each animal. This is why a fence marks the boundary of the Quinto Real.

A superb round trip from the Col d'Ispéguy to climb the Astate.

This route is published under the name SL-NA-Elorrieta and is included here for use with Visorando. It starts at the Col d’Ispeguy and climbs to the Col d’Elorieta via a lovely circular route.

This is a very beautiful hike that takes us to the first peak over 1,300 m from the ocean. It passes through very varied landscapes along the way. At the Col d'Elhorieta, there is an important megalithic site (cromlechs) that is worth a short detour. At the summit, there is a beautiful 360° view. The return trip along the ridges is truly magnificent in good weather.

A round trip from Col d'Ispeguy to climb Elhorriko Kaskoa via a local trail SL-NA Elhorrieta (SL for Sendero Local, local trail in Spanish, NA for Navara, the province of Navarre).

Above Baigorry, from the Col d'Ispegi, climb through the forest along the border to reach the majestic Col d'Elhorrieta. The route to Elhorriko Kaskoa and Urrizpilota offers fantastic views of the peaks of Baztan: Autza, Gorramendi, Irrubelkasko and the Iparla range: Buztanzelai, Astate and Pic d'Iparla.The route passes between border markers 98 and 102.

Ascent of Autza via Erratzu in a circular route via the Xorroxin waterfalls. Unmarked hike, except for a small section along the GR® trail after the summit. Descent via the Xorroxin waterfalls, a point of interest.

It's a hike for the whole family through forests and past streams, with the reward being the superb Cascade de Xorroxin, source of the Baztan-Bidassoa river... and perhaps the discovery of the treasure guarded by the lamias beneath the waterfall.

This hike to Hautza via the Trempetta ridge is well worth the effort. There is a significant elevation gain, but you are guaranteed to be rewarded with spectacular views. The ridge offers breathtaking vistas that will quickly make you forget the difficulty of the hike. This hike climbs successively to several viewpoints. From the summit of Hautza, there is a 360° view of all the peaks of the Basque Country and, further away, the Pyrenean peaks.

A magnificent hike. The views are spectacular all along the way. You can stock up on snacks and drinks at Col d'Ispeguy, which will lighten your backpack. Please note: the path between (2) and (3) may be frightening for those who are afraid of heights. In any case, it should be avoided by everyone when the ground is frozen.

Legate (870 m) is one of the most picturesque peaks in the Baztan valley. Located to the North of Elizondo, the view from the summit is 360°, with Askolegi dominating the Bertiz park. Below, a majestic calvary leads the way back to the hamlet of Lekaroz.

This hike allows you to admire the Basque landscape, shaped by man over many centuries.

A very pretty circular route that follows the French-Spanish border ridge, passing through three passes.A very well-marked red and white path on the Spanish side allows you to pass below the ridges (for those prone to vertigo). The markings can be helpful, but they change over time due to privatisation, diversions, temporary closures, etc. This circular may be difficult for some people.

Oilarandoi is a magnificent viewpoint overlooking all the surrounding peaks. The nearby Munhoa and, further away, Iparla, Autza, Adarza and many others. At the summit, there was originally a hermitage, which was occupied from 1706 to 1792. The ruins were rebuilt twice, in 1941 and 1985. This hike includes sections with significant gradients of between 30 and 40%, but the reward is at the end and the view from the summit is well worth the effort.

A lovely circular route starting from the village of Azpilkueta via the Atxuela Pass.

This is a beautiful hike that takes you around the Guermiette valley via Munhoa and the Urdanzia and Leizartzeko passes. Once you reach the Ahartzako Pass, those with the most stamina can climb up to the Olharandoï Chapel or continue along the hillside following theGR®10.

The forty-seventh stage of the Camino de Santiago. A long stage but less gruelling than the previous day’s, despite a somewhat arduous descent towards Zubiri. Along this route, you’ll alternate between landscapes of beech and pine forests and charming little villages with typical Navarran architecture. From this stage onwards, the signposting on the Camino de Santiago in Spain consists of yellow arrows—either painted on the ground, on building facades, on rocks or on trees—or specific European signage featuring a stylised yellow scallop shell on a blue background. This logo may also take the form of bronze scallop shells nailed to walls or set into the ground in the major towns along the route, indicating the direction towards Santiago de Compostela.

A beautiful loop around the hospitable center of Roncesvalles, an important stage in the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.Roncesvalles is called Roncesvalles in Castilian, or Orreaga in Basque. The route passes through the village of Auritz (in Basque) or Burguete (in Castilian).
