The Pic d’Orhy is the first 2,000-metre peak in the Pyrenees when approaching from the Atlantic. This giant of Soule is characterised by its imposing, pyramid-shaped silhouette. A relatively short route with no technical difficulty, to be undertaken only in good weather.

Variation of the GR®10 starting from the Iraty Campsite. Start in the undergrowth in a magnificent Basque beech forest, then walk through the mountain pastures with griffon vultures circling above. A peaceful short hike with magnificent views of the Pyrenees and the Basque Country.
Please note that there are many animals roaming freely, so it is best not to bring your dog.
As this hike does not return to the starting point, leave another vehicle at the Col de Bagargi.

First day of a 6-day trip in the Basque Country. On this first day, visit the Ehujarré Gorges. A climb through the woods, then discovery of the wide grassy slopes of Utzigagna, the land of sheep and shepherds. After a visit to Urugo to admire the gorges from above, we climb back up in the morning to reach the Col de d'Errayzéko Lépoua, border marker 256.There, a vehicle will be waiting to take us to the Refuge Jeandel, saving us an 8 km drive along the border road.

Every autumn, the Col d'Urtzategiak is gripped by ‘blue fever’. It affects a large part of the local population. The hunters are all perched on the ridges, in the trees, watching for the migration of the wood pigeon.
