Luzaide walks

A beautiful loop around the hospitable center of Roncesvalles, an important stage in the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.Roncesvalles is called Roncesvalles in Castilian, or Orreaga in Basque. The route passes through the village of Auritz (in Basque) or Burguete (in Castilian).

This loop is a superb hike in Lower Navarre, taking you in turn to the peaks of Lindus, Xaxperro and Sorotepo. This ridge route between France and Spain offers total immersion in the open, wild landscapes of the Basque Country. Throughout the route, panoramic views of the Baigorri valley, the surrounding Basque peaks and, on a clear day, the High Pyrenees follow one after another. A complete itinerary, between high-altitude pastures, airy ridges and a pastoral atmosphere, ideal for hikers in search of tranquillity and wide open spaces.

From the Nive de Béhérobie in Estérençuby, head up one of its tributaries, the Bihurriko Erreka, to discover the peaceful heights where shepherds and their sheep reign supreme. The Azketa huts are inhabited during the summer grazing season. They shelter beautiful Basque-Béarnaise horned sheep. These pastures are also popular with pottoks, the small Basque horses.

Cette boucle, à l'Est du village des Aldudes, permet de faire une belle trilogie de sommets Otsaxar (825 m), Otsamuhno (901 m) et Errola (907 m), ornés de promontoire rocheux, dans le cadre enchanteur des collines de Basse Navarre. Le retour face aux crêtes Ouest des Aldudes nous donne une vue superbe sur la Peña de Alba, l'Hargibel et le Zarkindegi. On revient au village par le Sud et on découvre (ou redécouvre) les spécialités du village ! Passages interdits ? Voir l'avis di 04/09/2023 et laisser le votre, merci

An easy family hike that allows you to explore the hills around Aldudes. You may encounter a few Pottok ponies roaming free at the top of some of the hills. The walk offers some very pretty views of the surrounding valleys and can be rounded off with a visit to a farm where Basque pigs are bred.

A lovely hike, taking in part of the western ridges of the Aldudes valley, which guarantees magnificent views.

The Muhnoa is a magnificent 360° viewpoint. Most of the climb is on a gentle slope of about 10%. The last 1,400 metres become more difficult, but the reward is at the end.

A hike around Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to discover a unique feature of Basque architecture in this part of Navarre, then share a "piece of the journey" with pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

A beautiful hike along an oldPR® trail, which is unfortunately no longer well marked. The return journey is on gentler slopes than the outward journey. The end of the route crosses the vineyards of Irouleguy.

A very pretty loop that follows the French-Spanish border ridge, passing three passes. A very well-marked red and white path on the Spanish side allows you to pass under the ridges (for those prone to vertigo).

Oilarandoi is a magnificent viewpoint overlooking all the surrounding peaks. The nearby Munhoa and, further away, Iparla, Autza, Adarza and many others. At the summit, there was originally a hermitage, which was occupied from 1706 to 1792. The ruins were rebuilt twice, in 1941 and 1985. This hike includes sections with significant gradients of between 30 and 40%, but the reward is at the end and the view from the summit is well worth the effort.

A lovely walk that takes you through a variety of landscapes, including open tracks, forest, pastures and, finally, vineyards.

You will discover an oak forest and pass through the Irouleguy vineyard with a panoramic view of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and its surroundings. A very pleasant hike that will take you to the Pic de l'Arradoy. The small flower-lined path leading up to it is very pleasant before entering the damp, cool forest. Very pleasant in spring and summer as the hike is mostly shaded.

The Adi overlooks the Urepel valley and the Quinto Real, which belonged to the kings of Navarre. The inhabitants paid a grazing fee corresponding to one-fifth of the herds, the quint.Currently reduced to 2,000 ha on the French side, but belonging to Spain, only the families of Saint-Étienne de Baïgorry have use of it. Herd owners pay a grazing fee (vacade) for each animal. This is why a fence marks the boundary of the Quinto Real.

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 is a beautiful hike that allows you to discover the Iparla ridges without having to climb the various peaks.

A superb circuit that passes in front of the Gapelu amphitheatre (one of the most majestic sites in the Basque Country according to Miguel Angulo) and through the Col d'Iparla, which is a tough climb but is rewarded on reaching the ridges with a vast panorama stretching from the sea to the peaks of Orhy and Anie...

Beautiful hike in the Southern Basque Country (Navarra).Discover a refreshing waterfall and a touching dolmen.Beautiful farmhouses in pure Navarrese style.

Ascent of Autza via Erratzu, in a circular fashion via the Xorroxin waterfalls. Unmarked hike, except for a short section on the GR® trail after the summit. Descent via the Xorroxin waterfalls, a point of interest. Hike without description to be followed using the Visorando app

It's a hike for the whole family through forests and past streams, with the reward being the superb Cascade de Xorroxin, source of the Baztan-Bidassoa river... and perhaps the discovery of the treasure guarded by the lamias beneath the waterfall.

Beautiful walk on the ridges between the Gorramendi and Gorramakil peaks, with a magnificent view of the Baztan valley and, on the other side, the Pyrenees. Not very difficult, it can be done with the whole family.

A very pleasant hike that takes in the beautiful restored villages of the Baztan valley.
