Quiet climb through forests, nowhere too steep. The tunnel at the top is quite long and not lit, so light on the bike is wise... read more

Rustige beklimming door de bossen, nergens te steil. De tunnel op de top is vrij lang en niet verlicht, dus lampje op de fiets is verstandig

Quiet road snugged into the forest. Very few cars even on weekends. Tunnel at the top has no lights inside, better bring your own.

Nice climb that doesn't really get very steep through a nice wooded Basque hill landscape. Not much traffic in quiet surroundings. Ends with a tunnel (not a pass) on the border with Navarre. Started the climb from the turnoff to the Arditurri mine where I had cycled to on the Arditurriko Bidegorria (a cycle path over a former railway line).

Mooie klim die niet echt heel steil wordt door een mooi bebost Baskisch heuvellandschap. Niet veel verkeer in een rustige omgeving. Eindigt met een tunnel (geen pas) op de grens met Navarra. Ben de klim begonnen vanaf de afslag naar de Arditurri mijn waar ik naar toe gefietst was over het Arditurriko Bidegorria (een fietspad over een voormalige spoorlijn).
