Near the town of Nagore, we skirt the Itoiz reservoir until we reach the Arce Palace. At this point, the first hard section of the day begins, riding along the side of the Arce Valley, which accumulates a large elevation gain. There is the option to ride on the valley road (NA-1720), which is very lightly trafficked, and reduce the total elevation.
At kilometer 35, we reach the meadow area where towns like Burguete and Roncesvalles are located, full of charm and influenced by the passage of the Camino de Santiago.
Without leaving the EuroVelo 3, just past Roncesvalles we face a tough section, this time deep in the Pyrenees. The Orbaizeta Arms Factory, located at km 50, signals that Irati is very close. After a climb on a concrete track, we enter the Irati Forest, one of the largest and best-preserved beech-fir forests in Europe. We skirt the Irabia reservoir before tackling the Alto de Tapla on asphalt and descending to the final point of the route, Ochagavía.
