Autumn landscapes in the Irati Valley and Salazar

Travel to the Irati Forest, visit beautiful villages such as Ochagavía and enjoy the excellent local cuisine. We offer a 3-day mountain break, climbing to the top of the Ori “Orhi” and travelling through lush valleys of deciduous forests

The Irati Forest, the second largest beech forest in Europe, after the Black Forest in Germany, is a great attraction all year round, although autumn is a very special season to visit it due to the polychrome of the forest

It is home to three protected areas: the Mendilatz Nature Reserve in Orbaizeta, the Tristuibartea Nature Reserve in Hiriberri/Villanueva de Aezkoa and the Lizardoia Integral Reserve

In the Irati Forest, beech and fir forests combine to form a large forest mass of 17,000 hectares located between the valleys of Aezkoa and Salazar, in the heart of the Pyrenees of Navarre

Our team is made up of mountain guides and sports technicians with one common denominator: their passion for mountains. People who have made their hobby a profession.
We believe that you also want to be close to the mountains and our passion is a guarantee that you will enjoy it.

Nature is generous, creative and wise; that’s why it’s the perfect place to disconnect, breathe fresh air, get rid of everyday anxiety and feel at peace with yourself. Whether you like climbing, cycling or hiking, nature will welcome you with open arms so that you can enjoy all its benefits:

The practice of sport outdoors is an immediate and highly effective remedy to combat stress, because the endorphins that your body releases when you practice sport are responsible for immersing you in a state of satisfaction, welfare and absolute serenity.
Whether you want to stay in shape or gain stamina or lose weight, outdoor sports can be your best ally. Take in the scents and textures of the mountains and forests and let your body adapt and overcome the challenges of nature.
Did you know that contact with nature increases a person’s feeling of freedom? Put on your sneakers and get ready to take care of your body and mind equally.

Between 14 and 7 days before the start of the trip we will send you information about the place and time of the meeting as well as the name and telephone number of the guide who will accompany the group. We will also send you more useful information that will facilitate your final preparations.
