Discoidal Steles and Three Crosses of Xareta

Highlight • Monument

The three crosses represent Jesus surrounded by two thieves. They dominate the discoidal stelae of Xareta. After a steep climb from Ainhoa you discover a breathtaking view of part of the Basque Country and the Atlantic coast.

Unfortunately, the "route" up to this peak is un-bikeable and barely hikeable. You just have to tough it out, but the reward is huge. Starting here, you get continuous Ridgeline single track for several kilometers.

Mountain bike trail between the Col des Trois Croix and the Three Crosses Hill area

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Here, we find a sublime single track on the mountainside before reaching Notre Dame de l'Aubépine (with a water point) and the charming, typical village of Ainhoa.

Everything we love, incredible panoramas, a little drop, a few singles sometimes a little dizzying, fresh air.
The return can be done through the ND de l'Abépine chapel with a very nice single. Turn left at the Col des 3 Croix, the single is 500m further down on the right. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to do it.
