Errozate

Errozate is a mountain summit in Lower Navarre that rises above the Nive Valley and forms part of the Pyrenean chain. The slopes are covered with grass and low vegetation, offering wide views across the surrounding valleys and distant peaks.

The mountain formed through the geological processes that shaped the Pyrenees millions of years ago. For centuries it served as a natural landmark separating different territorial regions across the border zones.

Located in the heart of Lower Navarre, Errozate represents a connection point between French Basque pastoral traditions and mountain hiking activities.

Marked trails lead to the summit from nearby villages, though hikers need proper gear and should watch weather conditions carefully before starting. Allow plenty of time for the walk and bring water along with suitable protective equipment.

The mountain slope includes a challenging cycling route stretching 10.9 kilometers with an average gradient of 9.2 percent to reach the Col d'Errozate.
