Col de Bagargui
Reaching the ridges of the Irati Forest is no easy task. The ascent of the Bagargui pass starts with a descent, which is deceptive, because afterwards, it will be 5 km of extreme difficulty. Up there, the view of the ridges, frequented by migratory birds will reward you!
Following the last storm at the beginning of March, some trees may have fallen on the hiking trails.
We invite you to be vigilant during your outings. Due to the measures taken to fight against COVID19, our teams are currently not able to restore the trails. Thank you for your understanding.
Reaching the crests of the Irati forest by bike is not an easy task. On the Larrau side, the ascent of the Bagargui pass begins with a deceptive descent, because afterwards, you will have to tackle 5 km of extreme difficulty, especially if the heat gets in the way. The average gradient is 9.5, then 12, 13, 12.5 and 11%, making this pass a major challenge for even the most experienced cyclists. At the top, the wide view of the ridges, frequented by migratory birds, will reward the brave finishers.
