Izpegi, Urkiaga and Artesiaga

A spectacular route that will take us into French territory via the Izpegi pass.

Just over 8 km at 4.3%. We descend along the eastern side of the pass, steeper than the one we climbed, until we reach the beautiful town of Saint Étienne de Baigorry.

After riding a few kilometers on French soil, we return to Navarre through the Urkiaga pass, with its 13 km at 4%. We cross dense forests until we reach the start of the final climb of the day, Artesiaga, which we tackle this time from its “gentler” side: 6.5 km at 4%.

Once we reach the summit, we begin the return to Camping Baztán on favorable terrain.
