エスパルサデサラザールのおすすめツーリングルート

Isaba, also known as Izaba in Basque, is a picturesque village located in the Roncal Valley in the Navarrese Pyrenees, northern Spain. This charming village is known for its rich history dating back to the Middle Ages, when it was a strategic outpost for the Kingdom of Navarre. Isaba offers breathtaking scenery with lush green meadows in spring, colorful autumn leaves and snow-capped mountains in winter.

The Puerto de Laza is a small and beautiful hill that joins the valleys of Roncal (starting from Isaba) and Salazar (starting from Ochagavía) in the Navarrese Pyrenees. Both sides are very similar: a very easy start on a winding road, in perfect condition but without a hard shoulder, passing through small towns and going up the course of the respective rivers Anduña (Salazar valley) and Urbi (Roncal valley); a final stretch of 2 - 3 kms that is harder without being too much so, although there are some slopes above 10%. The Salazar valley side becomes harder when leaving behind the detour to the Larrau port. From here to the port there are 3 km with an average gradient of 7%. On the other hand, the Roncal valley side becomes harder when overcoming a bridge over the river that has been with us since we left Isaba behind. From here it is barely 2 km with an average gradient of 7%. From a landscape perspective, it is a port that I love because you can enjoy the exuberance of the vegetation of the Pyrenees, crossing narrow valleys and only with panoramic views when you reach the top, where there is a viewing point that is worth looking out at. A port that I always recommend for enjoying cycle tourism. I leave you the profile of both sides produced by the website www.cyclingcols.com --> http://www.cyclingcols.com/col/Laza

This montana center is also a bar, restaurant, and possible to repair the bike. The VAE will be able to recharge the battery in the beautiful restaurant/bar room. Super nice welcome.

Was covered in clouds when I went in May

Very charming town located in the Salazar valley, just 2 km from Ochagavía, which is a larger town maintaining the rustic and traditional charm of the towns in the Navarrese valleys. From Escaroz there is the road that connects the Salazar valley with the route that enters Spain via Roncesvalles. This road with ports and elevations is especially recommended.

A rustic town that maintains its classic appearance of the valleys of the Pyrenees. It is a beautiful town with all kinds of services, several restaurants, many rural houses and hotels and several bars. It is a good reference point from which to carry out various routes through this area of the Navarrese and French Pyrenees.

The port of Larrau is one of the 5 large ports of the Pyrenees. Not only is it one of the toughest ports (on the French side); It is one of the ports with the greatest scenic beauty, enjoying the authentic wild and rugged Pyrenees. The two slopes are different in terms of hardness and landscape. You have to try both options and decide which one you like best. The Port of Larrau is included in 2 marches: IratiXtrem and Larra Larrau. I also recommend both marches: impeccable organization and hard and beautiful routes. And remember: the Pyrenees must be respected and kept clean.

Nice rest area with barbecue areas and fountain
