바스크 지방 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Beautiful route and spectacular views

Caution! Approaching Irumugarrieta Peak from the south, you have to climb a serious, vertical wall. Unfortunately, with a dog, we had to give up here and fought our way down cross-country through the undergrowth. The other way around, it probably won't work with a dog even without abseiling. The tour is still very beautiful, but I wouldn't do the special descent again.

The path branches off from the main trail and is unfortunately now completely overgrown.

The Hermitage of San Pedro de Atxarre, located at an altitude of over 300 meters, is one of the most spectacular natural balconies in Urdaibai. From its viewpoint, you can enjoy a unique panoramic view of the Urdaibai marshes and Izaro Island off the Basque coast.

Difficult Route NOT suitable for children. There are areas that require climbing. Skip this route on days when the terrain may be wet (rain, snow, both on that day and in the days prior).

If you climb from Araotz, follow the PR, and the climb is very easy and short. From the cave parking lot, it's much steeper and zigzags. About 2.5 or 3 km with a lot of elevation gain.

The first (or last section if reversing the route) section is absolutely NOT accessible. Possibly only at extreme low tide. We were there an hour before extreme low tide, and it was completely impossible. I would choose to simply follow the route at a higher elevation and skip the "beach" section. Especially since the beach is made up of large stones and rocks, difficult to walk on because you always have to watch your step due to loose stones.

Mostly the area is windy especially due to topography. Do not forget to carry water with yourself. Enjoy the Bay of Biscay
