アルテアの峠・トップ5

Long, gentle climb. 11km at approximately 5%

Steep road, well developed, therefore also down a pleasure

An amazing hill, the views are breathtaking, especially those of Mugarra.

Continuing with the comment, the climb up the Orozko face is gentler the first few kilometres, but the last 3 kilometres have a gradient of 9% with ramps of 13%.

After reaching this peaceful and green hill, where it is sometimes even possible to enjoy horses around, we can have a panoramic view of the area in which, of course, the Mugarra stands out right next to it, imposing itself over the area. If you are going to climb Mugarra, it is an ideal point to stop to regain strength before the last stretch.

The BI-3524 regional highway connects the towns of Ugao-Miraballes and Artea, crossing the municipality of Zeberio. It is a conventional two-way road with a variable road width of about six meters and has a winding layout, with very tight curves. The section of road on which action has been taken begins before reaching the Olatxu neighborhood, in Zeberio, P.K. 15+800, and ends at the station. 26+060, coinciding with the intersection with the BI-3513 highway, in the municipality of Artea. There are two sections of this road transferred to the municipalities in which no action has been taken; a section of 840 meters in the Olatxu neighborhood and another of 1,300 meters in the urban center of Zubialde.

Mythical place for Biscayan cyclists, the scene of endless races of all categories!

One of the most feared ports in the province of Bizkaia and which leaves from the center of Artea. Most of the climb, there are ramps that go from 10/12%, where of the 4km as a whole, only the first one is more relaxed. Mind you, you can't miss it!
