The starting point for this hike is the car park in front of the Elizalde restaurant in Ibardin. For directions, see the “Practical Information” section.
(S/E) From the car park, take the smallest stone path opposite (there is a low, round wooden post marked "Benta Elizalde Ibardin Alt. 410 m" at the foot of the path) and head towards the large pylon at the top (GR®10). The climb at the start is a bit steep.
(1) Leave the wide path and turn left. A little further on, leave the path at a circle of stones and head to the right. At the top of the hill, pass the R10 boundary marker and then reach the summit of Manddale (or Manttale), marked by a triangulation point and the R9 boundary marker at an altitude of 574 m. It is also a historic site with traces of the Redoute de la Baïonnette.
(2) Continue straight down the path. Pass a large cairn and continue straight on to climb Zigorriaga (549 m), marked by boundary marker R8.
(3) Continue straight on, this time downhill, and pass the R7 boundary marker.
(4) At the bottom of the descent, turn right onto the small dirt track, heading due north, and head for the Col des Joncs.
(5) Turn right to join theGR®10which, after a steep climb, arrives at the starting point of the circular route.
(1) Continue straight on to return to the car park (S/E).
