ビダレイの峠・トップ14

Short pass but high percentage both uphill and downhill.

There is a restaurant upstairs (actually several, but only one was open in July)

Walk from the Ispeguy pass, narrow path, best worn in hiking shoes, some scree slopes, magnificent view!

Very nice view of the valley with roads easily accessible by bike while enjoying the panorama

Before starting the climb: check the weather forecast and make sure you have the appropriate clothing. The climb can be done in the clouds (fog) towards the end. A fluorescent vest is not an exaggerated luxury. The road is sometimes narrow, the cars drive fast. For the descent, it is best to take a windbreaker and an undershirt with long sleeves. Light gloves prevent your hands from getting numb, which makes braking more difficult. At the top near the inn at the border crossing, horses walk freely on the road. During the descent along the Basque side you can meet a real pig (180+ kg) in the middle of the road.

A great reward for this breathtaking view of Mount Errebi arriving via the Pinodieta pass on the heights between Souraîde and Espelette after a series of short but solid steep climbs!

Exceptional loop from the venta pantxo

The port of Pinodieta is 176 meters above sea level, between the towns of Espelette and Ainhoa. From the top you have incredible views.
