Txindoki

The limestone peak of Txindoki reaches 1346 meters in elevation and features steep slopes on its northern face within the Aralar mountain range.

The mountain's name originates from a shepherd hut called Txindokiko borda, which stood near the base during earlier periods of pastoral activities.

Every May 1st, local residents gather at Larraitz to guide their cattle to highland pastures, accompanied by traditional Basque music and regional food.

The primary hiking route starts from Larraitz at 403 meters elevation, following a broad track along the southern flank toward the mountain peak.

The mountain's pyramidal structure and sharp western ridge earned it recognition as the Basque equivalent of the Matterhorn in the regional landscape.
