Circuit de la montagne

This route is designed for walkers and takes you on a journey through two mountain ranges in the Pyrenean foothills: the Mondarrain and the Soporro. After climbing the first peak, which offers a stunning view of Labourd, the rest of the walk is more leisurely and allows you to take in the beautiful scenery.

Circuit de la montagne - Trail

Circuit de la montagne - VTT

This route takes you up through the hills above the village of Espelette, offering mountain bikers some stunning views. Starting on roads and wide tracks, the route requires some technical skill on the slopes of the Mondarrain. The return leg is downhill, with a few steep sections.

Circuit des familles / Familien itzulia

This very easy route is ideal for families or those who are not used to long hikes. It offers the chance to discover aspects of Basque heritage such as architecture, chilli cultivation and pastoralism, all set against a lush green backdrop with views of the mountains.

Ezkandrai

A short, pleasant walk through scenery typical of the Labourd region. And whilst the slopes may be steep at times, your efforts will always be rewarded with a view that lives up to your expectations. Not to mention that the pottoks and sheep will be your companions for the day in these lowland meadows.

Le col de Méhatché

Let’s put it bluntly: the Col de Méhatché is certainly one of the most challenging mountain passes in the Pyrenees to cycle up, if not one of the most challenging in the whole of France. Very often, the gradient ranges from 15 to 20 per cent.
