Ascain walks

A hike that will lead you to one of the primary summits of the Pyrenees, offering you a view over the entire Basque country, French and Spanish.

A beautiful loop from the charming village of Vera de Bidassoa with a magnificent view of La Rhune on the way up and a pleasant descent through the forest.

A lovely walk starting from the beautiful village of Les Sorcières. Magnificent views of the Basque peaks and the ocean in the distance.

An easy hike that offers beautiful views and a succession of prehistoric remains.

A beautiful hike that in a short space of time will give you a 360° view of the Basque Country, all the way to the Landes coast on a clear day.
The flora and fauna will not leave you indifferent.

Short walk with beautiful views of the Three Crowns and Lake Endara on the Errenga River.

Discovery of an old mine and access routes via numerous tunnels that had been dug into the mountain. All this in the forest of the Aiako Harria (Aia Mountains in Basque) nature park, also known as the Three Crowns.

A leisurely hike through a charming village, forest and stream.

The typical, picturesque village of Fontarrabie is one of the region's finest examples of Basque-Spanish culture and architecture. With its facades of brightly-colored wood contrasting with the surrounding white, its pedestrian streets, ancient fortifications and cathedral, it's a Basque journey summed up in one town. Numerous cafés and "pintxos" bars line the route for a gastronomic break.

A circular walk that passes over the summit of Kopako Harria and overlooks Lake Endara.

A round trip to the first two summits of the Three Crowns, plus a third as a preamble.

For the less adventurous, the climb to Txurrumurru requires crossing a rocky bar that can be tricky.

Nevertheless, it's worth the effort to reach the narrow passage between two boulders that gives a view of Lake Endara.

Going to the last summit, Erroilbide, is much trickier and requires experience, which is why it is not mentioned in this itinerary.

Beautiful ascent to an accessible summit offering 360° views of the sea and mountains.

A short walk to discover the paramoudra site in half a day.

Lovely walk with views of San Sebastian, the Basque coast, the Trois Couronnes, La Rhune and a visit to a remarkable cromlech site.

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.

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.
