This is a beautiful hike starting in the pretty village of Urdax, crossing the Otxondo Pass road to reach the Lizartzu Antsestegi ridge. You then reach the Otxondo Pass and return to Urdax via the Saint James trail.

A magnificent hike through a typical Navarrese forest leads to the summit of Mendaur, with its breathtaking 360° views.A visit to the Ermita de la Trinidad (ermitage) is a must!

A lovely walk that includes a visit to a moving mill steeped in history, but also takes in the surrounding peaks as you climb up from a beautiful Navarrese forest.

The Foz de Lumbier is a gorge carved out of the mountain by the Irati River. Both ends are narrow, making it an exceptional nature reserve. The Foz can be traversed without difficulty via a path that follows the route of an old railroad line.

On this 10km route, which is not very physically demanding, you can admire the Bastan valley and the Elizako Erreka stream. There are also sheepfolds, the calm of the Basque mountains and encounters with pottoks and ponies.

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.

A round trip takes you to the Peña del Fraile, from where you can enjoy a marvellous 360° view of the Bardena Negra, less well-known but less frequented than the Bardena Blanca. The path is relatively well marked, with numerous cairns along the way.

This short stroll will give you a complete and highly exotic overview of what the Bardenas desert has to offer in terms of difficulties and landscapes, and is sure to be an unforgettable experience. The desert is open from 8.00 a.m. until one hour before sunset. Depending on the bird nesting season, there is strictly no access to certain parts of the desert.

A superb hike with four peaks over 1000 m, two superb lakes and also a dolmen, a menhir, an ancient Roman road, all in a protected natural setting.

This loop is known as SL-NA-15 Otsondottiki. It climbs from the Urdax monastery to the Otsondottiki Pass on a forestry route. Otsondottiki means little Otsondo in Basque, the Col d'Otsondo (pass) being situated a little higher up. The white and green markers are clearly visible and the route is unambiguous. The route is not particularly difficult.

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

A beautiful loop around the hospitable center of Roncesvalles, an important stage in the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.Roncesvalles is called Roncesvalles in Castilian, or Orreaga in Basque. The route passes through the village of Auritz (in Basque) or Burguete (in Castilian).

A loop to climb the Tres Mugas, the highest point in the Bardenas Reales, then pass the foot of Puy Águila.

A beautiful hike from a delightful Basque-Spanish village over the passes, with magnificent views on both sides of the border.

This loop from Lumbier takes you to a hermitage, a ridge trail with fine views, two mineral arches and the Foz de Lumbier. An alternative to the small loop starting from the paying car park at Foz de Lumbier, the first part of which is not very interesting. This hike is for experienced hikers only.

Legate (870 m) is one of the most picturesque peaks in the Baztan valley. Located to the North of Elizondo, the view from the summit is 360°, with Askolegi dominating the Bertiz park. Below, a majestic calvary leads the way back to the hamlet of Lekaroz.

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.

A beautiful hike through a forest of oak, beech and spruce.Here, green dominates.There are many sights to see, including a beautifully renovated mill and lime kilns that bear witness to Navarre's history.At the top of the hike, a beautiful view of the Basque country on the French side, and of the sea if the sky is clear.

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.

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

The Adi overlooks the Urepel valley and the Quinto Real, which belonged to the kings of Navarre. The inhabitants paid a grazing fee corresponding to one-fifth of the herds, the quint.Currently reduced to 2,000 ha on the French side, but belonging to Spain, only the families of Saint-Étienne de Baïgorry have use of it. Herd owners pay a grazing fee (vacade) for each animal. This is why a fence marks the boundary of the Quinto Real.

A magnificent loop through the Artikutxa park, taking in the splendour of the beech forest and the panoramic view of the Navarre mountains via Bianditz.

A beautiful walk in the undergrowth that still allows you to discover the surrounding peaks.

A round trip to discover the spectacular Balcón de Pilatos. The more adventurous can venture up for the superb views that give the place its name, but there are no marked paths and the slope is severe.

Ascent of Autza via Erratzu, in a circular fashion via the Xorroxin waterfalls. Unmarked hike, except for a short section on the GR® trail after the summit. Descent via the Xorroxin waterfalls, a point of interest. Hike without description to be followed using the Visorando app

A version of the Foz discovery trail from the top, on a balcony, but with lots of forest sections. This route isn't better than the others, it's just different, particularly at the end to avoid the return journey via too many roads.For the panoramic photos that adventurers want to take high above the cliff, I recommend a piece of rope tied to a tree.

Lake Arritzulegi is better known as Lake Mendaur, as it lies at the foot of this peak. It is actually a dam lake. Located at an altitude of 700 m in a very pretty setting, it makes for a beautiful hiking destination. However, I would describe this hike as difficult, partly because of the elevation gain and partly because some of the paths that still appear on maps have disappeared. This means that part of the hike is off-trail and without many landmarks. You therefore need to have a good sense of direction and be used to walking off-trail. This hike is therefore only suitable for experienced walkers.The Visorando app is recommended.
