Departure from Mendionde (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
A very beautiful walk offering unbroken views of the mountains. Along the route, you’ll see beautiful Basque houses, woodland, pastures, horses and good paths. You will walk on very little tarmac (200 m), a little on a stony track, and on comfortable wide paths, trails and meadows. Below the summit, you can stop to study the landscape using an orientation table. In good weather, panoramic views from the summit are guaranteed, with views of the surrounding mountains and the Basque coast.

Departure from Hasparren (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
Climb Ursuya via the easiest route. A circular loop at the summit will save you from having to descend the final steep climb, which is quite strenuous. Firstly, as you climb, you can admire the coastline and the wooded countryside of the Basque Country, as well as the plains of the Landes. Further on, you’ll see some typical thatched cottages and the surrounding secondary peaks. At the summit, there’s a magnificent view of the Baigura and all the peaks of the Basque Country.

Crossing the Baïgura massif from Ossés to the leisure centre

Departure from Ossès (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
There are many ways to tackle the Baïgura. The simplest is to set off from the Mendionde leisure centre via the discovery trail. The route is signposted and there is an information board at the start.
I suggest doing the full traverse of the massif from south to north, starting from Ossès. For this, you’ll need two cars.
In my opinion, the paths are much more varied and rarely used, with many running along ridges offering magnificent views of the mountains and villages of the Basque Country.
