Aketegi erpina, Mountain summit in Zegama, Spain
Aketegi erpina rises to 1548 meters within the Basque Mountains range, featuring steep slopes and rock formations across its northern and southern faces.
The mountain paths around Aketegi erpina formed part of medieval trading routes connecting the provinces of Gipuzkoa and Alava through the San Adrian tunnel.
Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on Aketegi erpina's slopes, contributing to the production of regional Idiazabal cheese from sheep milk.
Hikers access Aketegi erpina through marked trails from Zegama, with spring and autumn offering optimal climbing conditions due to moderate temperatures.
The summit serves as a key checkpoint during the Zegama-Aizkorri Alpine Marathon, drawing international athletes to compete in mountain running competitions.
