From St Jean le Vieux, there are two routes around the peak of Behorlegui. One goes through the village of Behorlegui, the other through Mendive. I don't know which is harder... You can also climb to Ahuski (Col d'Aphanice) via Mauleon and Aussurucq, or via Tardets and Alçay (quite a tricky route).... read more

Depuis st Jean le vieux, il y a deux routes autour du pic de Behorlegui.
Une passe par le village de Behorlegui, l'autre par Mendive.
Je ne sais pas laquelle est la plus dure...
On peut également monter à Ahuski (col d'Aphanice) par Mauleon et Aussurucq, ou par Tardets et Alçay (assez redoutable).
