Nice walk through the Northern Basque Country around the quiet village of Itxassou. Steep climb and descent along the way, otherwise easy to do.

The Pas de Roland is a gorge carved by the Nive River near Itxassou in Labourd. Located at the bottom of the gorge, the path runs alongside beautiful cliffs in a remarkable mineral setting. The road follows the river, through the Basque hinterland, in a pleasant and bucolic atmosphere.

Beautiful to cycle next to the water

Celtic circle halfway between Itxassou and the summit of the civil radar. Convenient parking to park and admire the view either of the Spanish Pyrenees or the French coast.
