Ascent of Gorbeia Peak from Pagomakurre

Hike from the Pagomakurre car park to Gorbeia Peak. No technical difficulties, magnificent landscapes, horses, cows and sheep, guarded by very calm sheepdogs if you follow the basic rules.

It is best to hike when the weather is slightly overcast or to set off very early in the morning as there is no shade along the route. Please note that it is very windy at the summit.

There is indeed a lot of wind along the way and at the summit. Magnificent views of the surrounding mountains, the ocean and Bilbao.
Fairly easy route, not very technical.
The markings are not very clear on the last section before the final climb, so a GPS may be necessary at times.
