Start: By car: From Urrugne or Ascain, drive up to Ibardin and its ventas, then downhill on the Spanish side. Once in Vera, turn left and park 200m further along the Olazar stream.
(S/E) Head East on the Col de Luziniaga road, past the town exit sign and then an original car park-wall, and reach a grouping of garbage cans.
(1) 100m further on, leave the road on the left and immediately take the small road on the right which runs alongside a farm.
A little further up, at a crow's-foot (not visible on the maps), turn right. The road then becomes a track and the climb offers a beautiful view of La Rhune on the right.
(2) Approx. 250 m after reaching a plateau, turn left, ignoring the right-hand track leading to La Rhune.
(3) Further on, at another crow's-foot, turn right.
(4) Reach a large path junction where you'll find the "palombières". Turn left onto the track which descends South-West.
(5) A good hundred metres further on, below a farmhouse on the right, turn left onto a path that descends into the forest. The path through this damp forest can be slippery when it runs alongside the stream.
(6) The path becomes a track and then a modest road.
(7) Reach the busy road leading down from Ibardin to Vera. Follow the road very carefully for 200m, then turn left onto a delightful communal path. This leads back to the village center and the car park(S/E).
