Saint-Paul-lès-Dax walks

This is a pleasant route away from the major centres of activity, between cornfields and the banks of the Adour, where you can discover old gravel pits and a 23,400-panel, 11 MWc photovoltaic park floating on the expanse of water created when the gravel pits were abandoned.

A very fine circuit, which can be modified to suit the length and type of path required. You follow the Huchet stream, a small river that flows from the Étang de Léon to the ocean. Spectacular flora and beautiful colours at the mouth of this walk through the Landes Amazon. Author's note 24 June 2024. Walk described on Visorando in 2019, done several times since then, but despite the work done on the footbridge, it is still closed. The forest rangers I met in October 2023 gave me no information about the reopening of the Nasse footbridge. The loop described in 2019 is therefore still not feasible in 2024. A return trip is therefore necessary. I recommend that you then drive to the mouth of the Huchet stream and follow the stream upstream, as the scenery is sublime depending on the time of day.

This route follows paths that are open and maintained by local volunteers. Much of the walk is on dirt tracks with beautiful views of the region and the Pyrenees.

La promenade des coteaux de Riston est une boucle dans les Barthes de l’Adour. Ces zones humides abritent de nombreux oiseaux.

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

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.

Publié par le Syndicat Intercommunal Nivelle-Nivelle sous le nom Ospitalia, ce circuit est retranscrit ici pour être utilisé avec Visorando.

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

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

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.

Cet itinéraire ombragé, publié par la commune de Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle, est à pratiquer plutôt par temps sec car il sort des sentiers battus.
