Col Nekaitz walks

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.

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.

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.
