Anhaux walks

A beautiful hike along an oldPR® trail, which is unfortunately no longer well marked. The return journey is on gentler slopes than the outward journey. The end of the route crosses the vineyards of Irouleguy.

Circular loop through the Irouléguy vineyards. On a sign in front of the church, this route is described under the title "Menta: trail showcasing the unique characteristics of the Irouléguy vineyards". Surrounded by stunning peaks and offering a peaceful atmosphere, this is an easy walk suitable for the whole family.

A pleasant hike of moderate difficulty, except for the final climb up Munhoa, which is quite steep. Magnificent views of the Basque Country landscape. The outward leg of the hike follows the GR®10 to the Col d'Urdanzia. The return leg is not marked, so we recommend using the Visorando app.

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 Muhnoa is a magnificent 360° viewpoint. Most of the climb is on a gentle slope of about 10%. The last 1,400 metres become more difficult, but the reward is at the end.

This route is also known as Elurti. It allows you to discover the Artxuita dolmen from the village of Ascarat.

A challenging walk offering unrivalled views of the valley from the top of the Okoxtei vineyards. The walk takes you through the forest and then along the edge of vineyard plots before returning to Otikoren. - A paper map of the walk is available at the La Cave d’Irouléguy shop -

A hike for the fit and active. Starting from La Cave, hikers take the track from Leispars to reach Soramehaka along the vineyards. Head towards Mignaberry and then descend to Eiheralde, where they cross the bridge to reach Otikoren via the vineyards. - A paper map of the hike is available at the La Cave d'Irouléguy shop -

A short walk for families or those who don’t have much time to spend hiking. Walkers pass through the forest of the old quarry and head up towards Oronozia, where they can enjoy the vineyards overlooking the village and Etxauzia Castle. The return route goes via Iparraguerre and then through the village. - A paper map of the walk is available at the La Cave d'Irouléguy shop -

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 beautiful stage in the Pyrenean foothills along country lanes.

A hike around Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to discover a unique feature of Basque architecture in this part of Navarre, then share a "piece of the journey" with pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

Even if you are not a pilgrim on your way to Compostela, you will enjoy this pretty little tourist town in Lower Navarre, built on the banks of the Nive de Béhérobie. Let me give you a little guided tour.

Step back in time as you discover a unique heritage, walking along centuries-old cobblestones and enjoying the view of the Pyrenees – this is how you’ll discover the authentic town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. I visited this town at the end of the final French stage of my Camino de Santiago, after 47 days of walking.

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.

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

The forty-sixth stage of the Camino de Santiago. A physically demanding stage, featuring the ascent of the Pyrenees, splendid views of the surrounding Basque Country if the weather permits, free-roaming herds, a sense of being high up, and the excitement of crossing into Spain. After a long, steep descent, you arrive at the Monastery of Roncesvalles. Given the altitude of the finish point and the cool temperatures, I preferred the monastery dormitory to camping. From Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, a whole new journey begins. The landscapes are no longer the same, nor are the pilgrims. From here on, there are ten times as many people on the paths. Very few French people and lots of Koreans, Australians, Americans, Filipinos and, of course, Spaniards. From here on, you have to speak Spanish or English or use Google Translate. But you always manage to make yourself understood and get by. That’s the magic of the Camino de Santiago.

The Larla can be climbed from several points. This circular walk is slightly longer than the others and has a greater elevation gain. Despite this difficulty, the walk remains very pleasant and offers, as is often the case in the Basque Country, magnificent views.

A beautiful circular route at the foot of the Iparla cliffs to the Col d’Harrieta, where you cross over to the Spanish side into a majestic landscape with the Astate (1022 m) and the Buztanzelhai (1029 m) to the south, the Gorra range (1074 m) opposite, and to the north, Toutoulia (987 m) and Iparla (1049 m).

This is a beautiful hike that allows you to discover the Iparla ridges without having to climb the various peaks.

A superb circuit that passes in front of the Gapelu amphitheatre (one of the most majestic sites in the Basque Country according to Miguel Angulo) and through the Col d'Iparla, which is a tough climb but is rewarded on reaching the ridges with a vast panorama stretching from the sea to the peaks of Orhy and Anie...

Climb to the Pic d'Iparla to enjoy a breathtaking view of the Pyrenees mountain range, as well as the ocean and the distant beaches of the Landes.

Here is a possible route for hiking the Iparla ridges! Please note that this is a fairly strenuous hike, especially the final "ascent" of the ridges.
