This is a lovely route for enjoying peaceful, magnificent views of the modest but beautiful Basque hills and, above all, the Penas d'Ichusi.

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...

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

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).

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.

Climb gently to reach a beautiful viewpoint over the surrounding peaks and even the coast on a clear day.

Far to the north, Mount Ursuya offers magnificent views of the Basque and Béarn mountains, the plain and the valleys of Piedmont.

A very beautiful route to reach Mondarrain via the north face. The summit passes at the foot of a climbing site. See Practical Information. The view from the summit is 360°, from the Basque Coast (Côte d'Argent) to the Béarn Pyrenees, passing by the peaks of Navarre.

Here's another way to do a nice loop in Ursuya. This hike is always on open ground on wide paths with magnificent views from the start to the summit. The end of the return journey is via the Iramalda and Harrixuri ridges with Cambo-les-Bains in front of you and, further away, Bayonne and, of course, the coast. On the left, you can see La Rhune, Mondarrain, Artzamendi, etc.

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.

Beautiful views of Itxassou and Mount Ursuya, then Roland's Pass and the Nive Gorges.

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

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.

An interesting route that takes you around local farmers, where you can buy Espelette peppers and sheep's cheese. A pleasant route through a charming village.

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
