Besaide

Besaide mountain rises 564 meters above sea level at the intersection of three provinces: Álava, Gipuzkoa, and Biscay in northern Spain.

The mountain stands as a geographical marker that has defined the boundaries between different Basque territories since medieval administrative divisions were established.

Local mountaineering groups maintain a memorial monument at the summit dedicated to climbers who lost their lives in the mountains of the region.

Visitors can access the summit through multiple hiking trails starting from the surrounding towns of Arrasate, Elorrio, Aramaio, or Atxondo.

The mountain features 22 documented climbing routes with grades ranging from 5c to 7a, attracting both novice and experienced climbers throughout the year.
