Pass above the Palomeras Usotegui inn, then near a hunters' house (decorated with commemorative plaques) and arrive at the Etxalar pidgeon hunting huts.
At the R46 boundary marker, turn right, 50 m further on, at the three-way junction, stay on the path that climbs to the left and continue on this path which passes above the track and then joins it.
