De l'accueil des Chalets d'Iraty au Col de Bagargiak

Highlight (Segment) • Other

On top of Col de Bagargiak at an elevation of over 1,300 meters, Les Chalets d'Iraty is a charming mountain resort right at the edge of the sprawling Iraty Forest. Operating as a cozy base and a vibrant outdoor hub during the summer months, it offers a perfect blend of comfort and convenience for hikers on the GR10 or HRP. Trekkers can find well-equipped wooden chalets, dormitory-style rooms, a small grocery shop for essential resupplies, and a warm restaurant serving hearty local Basque dishes. It stands out as an inviting, comfortable oasis high in the Pyrenees where you can rest your legs, enjoy stunning mountain views, and recharge before tackling the next tough stage.
