Other walks in the area
From Sainte-Engrâce to the Col de Lépoa
First day of a 6-day trip in the Basque Country. On this first day, visit the Ehujarré Gorges. A climb through the woods, then discovery of the wide grassy slopes of Utzigagna, the land of sheep and shepherds. After a visit to Urugo to admire the gorges from above, we climb back up in the morning to reach the Col de d'Errayzéko Lépoua, border marker 256.There, a vehicle will be waiting to take us to the Refuge Jeandel, saving us an 8 km drive along the border road.
The Ehujarre Gorges
A stone's throw from the Kakoueta Gorges, a major tourist attraction in Haute Soule, are the Ehujarre Gorges, wild, secluded and a real delight for hikers.
Loop from Col de la Pierre Saint-Martin to Pic d'Anie
This loop offers changing landscapes, starting with pastures and gradually becoming rockier as you approach Pic d'Anie. Crossing the passes and cols will give you the opportunity to discover valleys that are very different from one another. Pic d'Anie is the highest mountain in the area and offers views of the French and Spanish Pyrenees.
Pic d'Anie from Pierre Saint-Martin and via the Col du Pescamou
From La Pierre Saint-Martin, you can see the Pic d'Anie in the distance.You start at the foot of the slopes with your destination in sight, and it takes about 3½ hours to reach the summit. In summer, you won't be alone on this route.
The Crêtes d'Auriste in the Barétous Valley
After a nice steady climb on a wide track, you come out onto a vast pasture area.
There are beautiful views throughout the climb, followed by a vast panorama from the top.
A geological curiosity: large blocks of pink puddingstone at the summit.
In the heart of the Issaux forest
A surprising walk in the Issaux forest, which reveals charming plains at the foot of small hills. A mixture of conifers and deciduous trees amid gigantic moss beds!
On Inchouriste Mountain from Haux
A beautiful, easy hike on Montagne d'Inchouriste from the village of Haux. A rocky ridge offering magnificent views of the Pyrenees and the surrounding mountains.
The Negumendi from Larrau
Hike in the Basque Country, 3 km from the village of Larrau. This hike offers magnificent 360° panoramic views from the summit: to the east, the Pic d'Anie, the Pic d'Ansabère, the Table des Trois Rois, etc.; to the west, the Pic d'Orhy; to the south, the Otchogorria with its antennas; and nearby to the south-west, the Otchogorrigagna.
