From Ascain, take the road to Olhette. Opposite the Trabenia inn, take the small road on the left and park at the end of the road.
(S/E) Follow the classic RhuneGR®®10trail for about 250 m.
(1) Leave theGR®®10, turn right and head towards a stream. Cross it to reach the left bank. Take the stony path that branches off to the left into the forest. Follow it until you reach the edge of the woods and come to a fork.
(2) Leave the path that goes straight ahead and take the well-marked trail that climbs towards the ridge. Reach the rocks. The path continues to their left. Then, squeeze through between them in places. When you reach the end of these rock piles, you will come to a large enclosure bordered by trees.
(3) Follow this enclosure on the right and join the cross path coming from Errepausuko Lepoa.
(4) Take this path to the right. It starts off as a balcony and, just before Col Zizcuitz, you will see a faint trail in the grass that branches off to the left.
(5) Take this path, which passes to the right of a pile of rocks. Once past this pile, climb north-east towards the cliff.
(6) From this point, a black dirt track begins. It winds its way through the cliff and is not always easy to follow (watch out for the numerous broken glass bottles). In some places, you will need to use your hands. You will come to a low wall which you must go around to reach the Rhune esplanade. This climb is not recommended for those who suffer from vertigo. In this case, it is better to take the Verra road from the pass, which climbs to the summit.
(7) Continue downhill towards the lower venta and follow the Verra trail. In places, it descends steeply to the Col Zizcuitz.
(5) Take a path that heads west to the left. Just after a bend, you will find the traditional path of the circular route that passes by the Yasola venta.
(8) Continue straight ahead, following a contour line, over a small plateau and a pass, Meatzuko lepoa. Then head north-west. The grassy path climbs up to the summit of Petite Rhune.
(9) Pass the summit and descend between the rocks to find a path that first heads left and then right. At this point, the path is not very well marked. Do not let yourself be carried downhill and look for the start of a path that skirts the cliff on the right. Once on it, it is easy to reach the traditional Yasola path. Take it to the left, heading north-west, until you reach the edge of the larch forest.
(10) Leave the path that runs along the forest and joins Yasola. Take the path that goes around the summit of Subizia (you can climb it if you wish).
The path zigzags downwards, steeply in places, to the DesKargako Lepoa Pass.
(11) Join theGR®®10and follow it to the lodge. Cross over an electricity pylon to cross the stream and return to the car park (S/E).
