Saibi

Saibi is a mountain summit in the Basque region of northern Spain with views over valleys and neighboring peaks. The mountain is accessed by marked trails that begin from the nearby village.

The summit has served as a natural boundary marker between different Basque territories since medieval times. This landmark helped local communities manage and navigate their lands across generations.

The name Saibi comes from the Basque language and reflects its importance to local communities. Shepherds still use the mountain pastures around the summit for grazing their flocks.

Marked trails from the nearby village lead to the summit and take about two hours to complete. The climb is moderate and well-marked, making the route easy for hikers to follow.

The limestone formations on the mountainside date back to the Cretaceous period and create natural shelters. These geological features are a rare characteristic of the local mountain landscape.
