Les landes de Hasparren

Situated in a Natura 2000 area, the Hasparren moors are made up of a hilly landscape divided into a panel of plots of land, here for grazing, there for cultivation, and there for meadows. The valley bottoms are traversed by small white watercourses and are not exploited. They are therefore naturally wooded, and crossing this mosaic of landscapes allows you to discover all its richness. On the bird of prey side, the regular overflight of vultures sets the tone, but we will also observe the migrating bondrée and especially, with a little luck, the booted eagle, nesting in the area. On the passerine side, the warblers are indeed there, but also the red-backed shrike, yellow and willy buntings, pipits, and the low moorland character of certain sectors, as a migratory stopover before the Pyrenees, may very well reveal some rarer species...



How to get there

Several trails are available to discover the moors.
Path 1: From Hasparren, follow Briscous for 8km. Follow the Chemin d'Antzenia up to the left. after 3 km, a cattle crossing on the road indicates that you are entering the pastoral zone. The trail starts from here.
Path 2: From Hasparren, follow Briscous for 7km. Turn right onto chemin du quartier du bois. After 250 m on the bend, park at the hut.
