    Hiking

    The Col de Descarga haundi offers a small flat area ideal for bivouacking. Several paths converge here, including the GR 10, the HRP (Haute Route Pyrénéenne) as well as paths that allow the ascent of the Ziburu and the Rhune.

    Hiking

    Flat grassy area with a view of La Rhune at a fork in various paths. Very suitable as a bivouac site. Was also used by the French when we were here. So you are not necessarily alone (also because of day hikers returning from La Rhune). In addition, a gfs. some horses company ;)

    No direct water source nearby. There is a fireplace, but I wouldn't use it in the summer. As far as I know, open fire is strictly forbidden in the Pyrenees.

    Hiking

    From here, the short ascent to the Ziburu Mendi (Montagne de Cibour) is recommended. From there you have a wonderful view of the Basque coast.
