Atxulegi

On the heights of Ainhoa and Espelette, this mountain bike circuit with a sporty start has all the ingredients of a modern all-mountain bike route: beautiful climbs on pastoral tracks, an ounce of portage, playful and unforgettable panoramic trails on the Gorospil: a real treat!

This MTB circuit starting from Ainhoa has all the ingredients of a modern all-mountain MTB route: rolling tracks on the way up, fun trails, short portage zones, panoramic descent on single-track. It is true that some sections are physical to get to the top of Ainhoa or to reach the Zuharreta pass (unless you have electric assistance), but the pleasure of riding on the back of Mount Bizkailuze, on the green pastures treaded by the sheep, will quickly make you forget the efforts made. The view is incredible and the photo break is unmissable. And it's a fantastic descent that awaits you on the Haizagerri ridge, a straight 2 km track in the middle of the mountains, facing the Rhune, combining riding and panorama. A sporting loop that will delight experienced mountain bikers.
