A beautiful climb that is not too demanding in terms of difficulty. The first part leaving Olazagutia is of little interest, but as the road gains altitude we enter the part with several successive horseshoe bends and the panoramic views become more and more beautiful.
Once you reach the entrance to the Urbasa Natural Park, there are still a few more kilometres of false flatness on a road in good condition and in two directions that will take you to the signpost indicating the mountain pass, leaving behind some beautiful views and sometimes dodging the animals (mainly horses, cows and sheep) that occupy part of the road.
In winter it can fill with snow and in summer there is more traffic due to the people who come up to enjoy hiking or to spend the day in the countryside.
At the top there is a campsite with a restaurant and a couple of seasonal bars a little further on.
It is also a descent to enjoy, but always with caution.
Preciosa subida y no demasiado exigente en cuanto a dureza. La primera parte saliendo de Olazagutia no tiene mayor interés, pero a medida que la carretera gana altitud entramos en la parte de varias curvas en herradura sucesivas y las vistas panorámicas son cada vez más bonitas.
Una vez se llega a la entrada al Parque Natural de Urbasa todavía quedan unos cuantos kilómetros de falso llano por una carretera en buen estado y de doble sentido que nos llevará al cartel indicador de puerto de montaña dejando atrás unas vistas preciosas y sorteando, a veces, los animales (caballos, vacas y ovejas principalmente) que ocupan parte de la calzada.
En invierno se puede llenar de nieve y en verano hay mayor tráfico debido a que hay gente que sube a disfrutar del senderismo o a pasar el día a las campas.
En la parte alta hay un camping con servicio de restaurante así como un par de bares de temporada un poco más adelante.
También es una bajada para disfrutar, siempre con precaución.
