Aitxuri

The Aitxuri peak rises to 1508 meters within the Aizkorri mountain range, forming steep cliffs and rocky outcrops along its slopes.

The mountain served as a natural border point between different regions throughout centuries, influencing the movement patterns of local communities and traders.

Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on the mountain slopes, continuing centuries-old methods of animal husbandry in the Basque region.

Multiple trails lead to the summit from Zegama, with the northern path through beech forests offering the most direct route to reach the peak.

The limestone composition of Aitxuri creates a network of underground caves and water channels beneath the surface, forming complex geological structures.
