This climb is hidden across the language border. Actually, together with the Puerto de Otsondo, it is one long climb of 20 km with almost 1000 metres altitude. The first 9km and so the Puerto de Otsondo runs on a beautiful road and is not too bad in terms of percentages and never really steeper than 9％. At the top you turn left to follow the dead end road to the top. The road surface is in some places very good and then suddenly very bad. It goes up and down until about 5km from the summit, wh... read more

A pleasant climb, with views over the whole valley from the start.
Note the deteriorating surface, which becomes impassable on a road bike as you approach Gorramendi and its antenna, and the first peaks of the massif. Gorramakil is just a little further on.

Montée sympathique, avec dès le début une vue sur toute la vallée.
A signaler le revêtement qui se dégrade, et devient impraticable sur vélo de route quand on s'approche du Gorramendi et son antenne, et les premières cimes du massif. Le Gorramakil est à peine un peu plus loin.

At the top of the Otxondo I still felt like riding to higher altitudes. With some hesitation, I continued up this climb without knowing what to expect. Fortunately because it was so beautiful, encouraged by horses and beautiful views, I climbed (and descended) to the top. The road surface was not too good and several times I was on the verge of turning around. Arriving at the summit, nothing awaits you but some radio towers, phenomenal views and wonderful silence.

Op de top van de Otxondo had ik nog wel zin om naar grotere hoogtes te rijden. Met wat twijfel maar verder deze beklimming opgereden zonder te weten wat mij te wachten stond. Gelukkig maar want wat was het prachtig, aangemoedigd door paarden en prachtige uitzichten klim (en daal je) zwoegend naar de top. Het wegdek was niet al te best en meerdere momenten op het punt gestaan om om te keren. Op de top aangekomen wacht je niks anders dan een aantal radiotorens, een fenomenaal uitzicht en heerlijke stilte.

At the top you turn left to follow the dead end road to the top. The road surface is in some places very good and then suddenly very bad. It goes up and down until about 5km from the summit, where it starts to climb constantly and the tarmac is not very good. The last km, the road surface is so bad and shoddy that it is actually not doable on a road bike, but definitely doable on foot because the view is incredible. Your only company at the top are the horses! Watch out for potholes in the descent and gravel.

Deze beklimming ligt verborgen over de taalgrens. Eigenlijk is het samen met de Puerto de Otsondo 1 lange beklimming van 20km met bijna 1000 hoogtemeters. De eerste 9km en dus de Puerto de Otsondo loopt over een prachtig lopende weg en valt qua percentages best mee en loopt nooit echt steiler dan 9％. Op de top sla je linksaf om de doodlopende weg tot te top af te leggen. Het wegdek is op sommige plaatsen heel erg goed en dan plots heel erg slecht. Het gaat op en af tot zo'n 5km van de top, waar het begint constant te klimmen en het asfalt niet lekker loopt. De laatste km is het wegdek zo slecht en besteend dat het eigenlijk niet te doen is op een racefiets, maar zeker te voet doen want het uitzicht is onwaarschijnlijk mooi. Je enige gezelschap op de top zijn de paarden! Let op voor putten in de afdaling en steenslag.

The Pico Gorramakil is quite a nice climb and not difficult at all. The beginning is a bit uncertain because with the gate down it looks like you are riding on private property. The first km's don't give you the feeling of a Basque climb because the road goes up but regularly it hardly rises and sometimes it descends. After 7 km, the road climbs steadily at an average of 7％ with some double digit climbs and even 15％. At the top, the road becomes a dead end, but the view makes up for this, because on a clear day, you can see very far. Watch out in the descent for four-legged friends who apparently also know this road.

De Pico Gorramakil is best een leuke klim en zeker niet zwaar. Het begin is wel even twijfelen want met het hek beneden lijkt het wel of een privéterrein is waar je op rijdt. De eerste kms geven je niet het gevoel van een Baskische klim want de weg loopt wel op maar regelmatig stijgt hij amper en daalt hij soms even . Na 7 km loopt hij gestaag tegen gemiddeld 7％ naar boven met hier en daar wel wat uitschieters met dubbele cijfers en zelfs 15％. Boven loopt de weg dood maar het uitzicht maakt veel goed want bij helder weer zie je ontzettend ver. Wel opletten in de afdaling voor viervoeters die deze weg blijkbaar ook wel kennen .
