HIRIBERRI-EGUIARRETA-HIRIBERRI

We leave Hiriberri through the gas station and go up the road towards the bridge that passes over the highway in the direction of Satrústegui. Towards the middle of the cost and on the left, we take a path that passes through a small tunnel under the road from the train. We follow the path for 20 minutes, without taking any fork, until we reach the bridge over the Arakil river. We continue to Eguiarreta and when we arrive, we take the first path on the left, which skirting the town, leaves towards Hiriberri. 9 minutes we take a detour to the right that, in a small climb, goes into the forest. Immediately we find a path to the left that we take and following the orange marks, we will arrive, after going through a regatta, to a pine forest. The road crosses the pine forest and in 30 minutes we reach Hiriberri.

HIRIBERRI-MADOTZ

This route is perfectly signposted in red and white as it is the GR 20, which goes around the Sierra de Aralar.

We left Hiriberri towards the river, we crossed the bridge over the Arakil and we continued straight. After about 100 meters the path forks and we take the one on the left along which we continue until we find a wide and open path on the right hand side through which we enter the oak grove.
We follow the marks until we reach a step between the rocks. We are in the arratea or Berástegui pass from where we have beautiful views of the town and the valley.
If we leave the road, to the left we will arrive at the old deserted Berástegui, where the old hermitage is preserved.

At the end of this climb we find ourselves in a chestnut forest. We cross it following the track until we reach a point where we have 3 paths.
On one side there is a pine forest and this is where we must go.
In 10 minutes of steep ascent we reached a track. We take to the right and it takes us to the town of Madotz.

Difficulty: Medium

Time: 1h. 45 (up to Madotz)

HUARTE ARAKIL-MONTE BERIAIN

This is a tough climb because in a short time you climb a slope of more than 1000 meters.
In any case, it is worth it because the views from above on a clear day are incredible, both towards the Sakana valley and towards the Sierra de Andía.

HUARTE ARAKIL-SAN MIGUEL DE ARALAR

This climb is not as hard as the previous one, but it also has a significant unevenness, just over 700 meters.
Along the way, we will be able to appreciate some dolmens, which are signposted.
From the sanctuary the views are magnificent .
A must-see is the Sanctuary with its altarpiece, a Romanesque jewel.

MADALENAITZ

Nice route that, starting from our house, will take you to Madalenaitz, from where we have
very good views of the ravine.
The part of the route that goes from the town to the Berástegi pass is done by the GR-20 and then leave this to take a path that ascends to the left.
With a distance of 11 km. and a drop of about 400 meters, it is a route that is easily done.

HIRIBERRI-MADALENAITZ-DOLMEN-ERMITAS DE SAN MIGUEL Y BERASTEGI

This is a route that complements the previous one since the first section to Madalenaitz and part of the return to the Berastegi pass follows the same route, but from here, instead of going down to Hiriberri, we take the old road to Madotz. < br /> They are 21 km. of travel and with little difficulty.

HIRIBERRI- SATRUSTEGUI-TXURREGUI-HIRIBERRI

Although this route is explained from Satrustegui, it can well be done from Hiriberri, since
we have scarcely 15 minutes between the two towns.
This time we ascend towards this summit of the Sierra de Andia from where the views Both the Sakana valley and the Pamplona basin are unbeatable.
There are 13 kilometers of little difficulty.

MADOTZ-ATA-ARTXUETA-SAN MIGUEL-AGIRI-MADOTZ

On this tour there are several important sites, the Ata valley, several dolmens, a menhir (the Roldán stone), the Sanctuary of San Miguel de Aralar and the depopulated area of ​​Agiri.
It is a route with little difficulty and I particularly recommend it.

RECORRIDO CIRCULAR POR MALLOAS

In 18 kilometers we will cross several of the emblematic peaks of Malloas, in a route of great beauty and with incredible views.
