From Tardets, take the road to Larrau and 3 kilometres before the village, just after the "Logibar" inn and the bridge, take a track on the left for about 100 metres to park in the car park.
(S/E) From the car park, walk along the river to the start of the trail.
(1) The path is flat. After crossing a small bridge with a lovely view of a waterfall, the trail continues with very little elevation gain. At the end of a bend, it soon climbs rapidly with some fairly steep ramps. A small cable helps those who are less confident to navigate this first, rather wet section. Out in the open, the tough climb continues. At the entrance to the undergrowth, everything calms down. After a sharp bend, the Holtzarte footbridge appears.
(2) The torrent is 180 metres below. Crossing it is no problem. The path then climbs steadily to an old track.
(3) Take it on the left. This track overlooks the canyon, under the trees, and has little elevation gain. You will arrive at a bridge.
(4) Cross the bridge. Be sure to make a round trip to the nearby cayolar (shepherd's hut) of the same name. Continue along the path, which quickly becomes open. After a wet area, it gradually climbs to the Ardakotxia plateau and its summer pastures.
(5) Continue along the wide track that is an extension of the path. It descends gently. Follow it until you leave the forest.
(6) Leave the access to Latsagaborda on your left to re-enter the forest. Continue to the next crossroads.
(7) Take the path downhill to the left, following the sign for "Logibar". Quickly pass through a gate and continue under the trees. Before the track ends, take the only path going up to the left. It will pass through open terrain and then descend steeply. In the forest, it winds its way to the car park (S/E).
