ベテルのおすすめツーリングルート

Great route for beginners as has mainly constant and light slopes. Only half a dozen uphills the first 30 km from Pamplona.

Although you have to make a slight detour, it is worth visiting this bridge and taking a photo on it if you want.

Good lighting on your bike is recommended.

2700 m

This ascent is so tricky with a heavy pack, harder than crossing the Pyrenees. Loose gravel ground and super steep so you cannot push properly. Took me like 20 mins to pass. Try avoid if you are heading to Pamplona

First section of Via Verde de Plazuela. We leave Pamplona suburbs. First part on a new road, a very quiet conventional circuit, at some point we will have to be careful because we cross some road although with little traffic, the average route passes through a road parallel to the old national road where we go through a tunnel that is shared with vehicles, regulated by traffic lights, to cross two imposing rock formations known as The Two Sisters, while we border both sides of the river. The route gains as we advance, gaining splendor in the last 5-8 km. where it fully follows the old train path, surrounded by vegetation, for about 3 km. Before reaching Lekunberri, a waterfall and springs that come down from the mountain stand out. Easy circuit, although at some points there are some slopes that we then have to go down.

That bridge is called "INTUIA-ko zubia" the INTUIA farmhouse is next to it. The misnamed "witches' bridge" is called UNANIBI-ko zubia, right in the Otita park (beginning of the Leitzaran valley). Don't forget to bring lights to cross the numerous tunnels in this valley!! Not to see but to be seen.

You have to be careful, especially going down by bike, to avoid the climb, another option is the road, very wide shoulder, no problems
