Alto de Zugarramurdi

Highlight • Mountain Pass

To the south, it is a tough climb but without problems, but be careful with the asphalt, which is very broken. Going up to the north, it is harder but with better asphalt. Be careful when arriving or leaving Zugarramurdi, there are scratched concrete with a very steep slope.

Zugarramurdi Village

Highlight • Settlement

Nice town very close to the border with France and with a lot to offer. Among the highlights are the famous Zugarramurdi caves known as the "witches' cave", an impressive complex of cavities and caverns formed by the erosion of the strong current of water known as the "Regatta of Hell".
