Kingdom of Navarre. Land of diversity

The Sierra of Aralar

The Aralar mountain range covers a large area (208 square kilometres) between Navarre and Gipuzkoa. It is a large karstic massif with a varied landscape of rock grooves, hidden valleys, caves and chasms and another, more serene scenery, of evergreen meadows and multi-coloured beech woods.

The Aralar range can be reached from the north from Lekunberri, Iribas orr Astitz and from the south from Uharte-Arakil, a town that is well-known for itsArtzai Eguna (sheepdog trials day). This area of the Navarre Pyrenees provides unforgettable sights all year round and a wide range of activities to enjoy.

There are of different degrees of difficult, gentle ascents to natural viewpoints such as the Sanctuary of San Miguel, sources of rivers that flow hidden inside the mountain range such as the Iribas, dolmens as witnesses of ancient times, caves that take you inside the Aralar range like Mendukilo in Astitz and legends like the one about Teodosio Goñi... Basically, a series of marvels that help to enhance the magic of this Pyrenean landscape.
