Bidarray walks

A route that starts from the hilltop village of Bidarray, crosses it and returns to it after climbing a little higher.

This is a lovely route for enjoying peaceful, magnificent views of the modest but beautiful Basque hills and, above all, the Penas d'Ichusi.

A magnificent hike on theGR®10trail in the dizzying haunt of vultures. From the summit, on a clear day, you can see the Pyrenees mountain range as far as the Pic du Midi de Bigorre... and on the other side, the ocean as far as the Landes coast. Please note: the start ofthe GR® 10 behind the sheepfold is no longer accessible. The owner has prohibited access to his farm. Another route has been set up, which is 2 km longer and just as steep as the original hike.

A very beautiful hike with a variety of paths. Beautiful views of the Iparla mountain range throughout the climb. At the summit, there is a magnificent 360° view, as is often the case in the Basque Country. You can see the beaches of the Basque Country and Landes, the Béarn Mountains and, on a clear day, even the Hautes-Pyrénées. The climb to the summit is demanding and in places you will need to follow the description and GPS track carefully. There are no markings indicating this hike until (10), a nameless pass.

Magnificent hike with a picturesque climb to the Peñas, then a trail that runs along the cliffs where griffon vultures nest before descending. ⚠️ This hike should only be done in dry weather!The trail that passes through the cave (7) of the Saint who sweats is considered dangerous, even though it is part of the GR®10. See reviews.

A beautiful hike where you will discover the Saint-qui-Sue cave, the Itsuchi cliffs with vultures and goats, and the abandoned village.

This is an alternative route to the Pic d'Iparla. It starts a little higher up and avoids the additional detour that was recently put in place to avoid a farm and the degraded sections ofthe GR®10. Be warned, this hike is not an easy one. The first 250 metres are challenging. The rest of the route along grassy tracks is very pleasant, with magnificent views of the ridges and Irubelakaskoa. The panorama from the ridges and the summit is spectacular.

This hike to the summit of Larla from Satali avoids the steep climb from Saint-Martin-d'Arrossa. You can learn about the mining activity that once took place here and enjoy superb views of the surrounding peaks.

The forest track has been concreted over, so this route has lost most of its charm. A beautiful round trip hike for a picnic in the abandoned village of Aritzakun.

The ascent of Irubelakaskoa via the north-east ridge, with its peaks, is reminiscent of high mountain climbing. Some of the passages, although not dangerous, are quite vertiginous. The summit offers a 360° view.

Le Larla, 705 m, is a magnificent viewpoint over the mountains surrounding Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry, Saint-Jean-Pie-de-Port and the entire eastern face of Iparla with its majestic ridge.

Hiking around Louhossoa, a small Basque village near Cambo.

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.

An almost circular route to climb Adarre and descend via the Col de Chancho.

Magnificent climb to Jara with breathtaking views of Larla, Iparla, Buztanzelai and Autza and, to the north, the ridges of Haltzamendi and Baigura. A variety of paths, almost always in the open, ending with a cornice path overlooking the Landes plain. Arrival at the summit with a 360° view of the peaks of the Basque Country and Béarn. A pleasant picnic area awaits us there.

This hike has an ideal profile, with a steep but steady climb and a gentle descent with beautiful landscapes to admire. The 360° view of Bégura is magnificent
