Reach the Start:
Drive to the village of Zugarramurdi, either from Sare via Venta Berrouet, or from Ainhoa across the border at Dantxaria.
Once you've reached the village square, walk past the church and a hundred or so metres further on, take the road that climbs to the left. Follow this winding road up to the pass, where you'll find a car park, a carved standing stone and an information panel.
(S/E) Take (as suggested by the Ibaneta signpost) the path that runs due South almost horizontally. After 250m, before a sheepfold, take a path down to the left to bypass this small building: follow this path as it descends, rises and then levels out again.
About 25 minutes after the start, cross a small stream and continue. Reach a fence and take the path on the right (yellow and white markings), which rises and passes a sheepfold. Further on, join the stream at the path junction with signposts.
(1) Turn left towards Ibaneta and, after approx. 300 m, fork off a few metres to the right of the path to discover a cromlech. Return to the path.
(2) Continue West and 400m further on, discover another cromlech and a tumulus. After another 500m, pass by a dolmen and reach a crossroads (signpost).
(3) Turn right (North-East), passing a signpost with information on the peat bog below and its flora. Continue on to the Col d'Ibaneta, where you'll find a second information panel.
(4) Continue North-East through the forest. 700m further on, you'll see the parking lot below. Just before reaching a large stony enclosure with sheepfold, discover a cave-shelter on the right of the path.
(5) Continue downhill to the cars (S/E).
