Start: from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, take the D933 towards Roncesvalles, over the Col de
Roncesvalles (Puerto de Ibañeta), past the collegiate church. Parking is available behind
the buildings.
(S/E) Head North around the pilgrims' hostel, then turn West to the hairpin bend in the road.
(1) Cross the road and take the cement road into the forest.
(2) Go through a barrier and turn right onto the carriageway to the next junction.
(3) Take the path that descends to the left into the forest. This path joins the GR®11 Pyrenean trail.
(4) Continue South on this path.
(5) The path branches off to the East to enter Burguete. Go through the village and continue South-East until you cross the Aetzubi stream (ford it if the flow is low, otherwise cross a small stone bridge).
(6) Turn left, still on the GR®°11, until you come to a cemented track.
(7) Head East, still on the Pyrenean path.
(8) Turn left on the GR®, which then makes a left hairpin bend and winds its way up through the forest towards the North-East.
(9) Leave the GR®11 on a path that goes left to join a track called Basajaunberroko basoa (see "During the hike" section).
(10) Continue on this track, ignoring a right-hand trailhead as the paths there are no longer passable.
(E) Continue on the Camino Francés to return to the car park (S/E).
