Irurtzun. Back to Ultzama

Basaburua, the valley of ancient trees, and Ultzama, full of meadows and livestock farms, are two essential corners of Navarre's geography and ideal for cycling.

This route starts from Irurtzun, just 25 km from Pamplona, to follow the route of the EuroVelo 1 along asphalted stretches. It crosses Etxaleku and enters the Basaburua valley until it reaches Jauntsarats. From here the route takes us on a gentle ascent to the Orokieta crossroads, from where we go straight on to Ultzama.

The route through this valley crosses one of the best known natural resources such as the magnificent oak forest known as Orgi Forest, which we can visit more closely on a future occasion to enjoy it in its entirety.We leave the Ultzama valley and continue along the southern part of our route, overcoming the ascent of Zia, the highest point of the route, to return to Irurtzun.
