For those who love the Pyrenees, climbing the Abodi mountain range from Orbaizeta and starting to see the picarrachos of the Pyrenees and the natural border created by the trees of the Irati Forest is an incredible image. I liked this area so much that I finished the stage and signed up for the Iraty Xtrm.

It is one of the gateways to the Irati Jungle. Many paths start from here to enter the forest, reaching the Irabia reservoir or passing to France. These roads are not paved, although they can be crossed with a road bike if the tire size is 27 or larger. At this entrance there is a bar/hostel where you can eat very well. It usually has a lot of atmosphere on weekends and holiday periods.

The views from the top are wonderful. You have to stand quietly to enjoy the beauty, especially on sunny spring and summer days.

It is a beautiful port of about 8 - 9 km for each of its slopes that connects Ochagavía with the sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de las Nieves in the Irati Jungle, one of the entrances to the forest. It is highly recommended to try both slopes because, although similar in length and hardness, they are very different in terms of landscape. The southern slope of Ochagavía is very open, with views of the valley and the surrounding mountains at all times, crossing mountain meadows. On the other hand, on its northern slope, the climb runs through the Irati Forest surrounded by beech trees. The final part of this slope is clear, although you are inside a very charming gorge. The views from the top are simply wonderful. It is worth stopping carefully, observing the views and taking some photos. It is usually windy, so a windbreaker is essential.

I have visited the Irati Jungle many times. This area is one of the best in the Pyrenees for cycling: dreamlike landscapes, ports of all kinds, quiet roads, beautiful towns and good food. Do not hesitate to visit the Irati Forest and its surroundings, whether in Spain or France. It is a unique experience.

They are the ruins of an old weapons factory from the 19th century, used during the Carlist Wars. It is a well-documented place where there are explanatory signs that explain what the factory was like, what was produced and in what historical context. In front of the weapons factory, there is a small shop where local sheep cheese is sold. Highly recommended!
