Errola

Errola is a mountain summit located between the communes of Banca and Urepel in Lower Navarre, rising to 911 meters above sea level. The peak offers wide views across the surrounding valleys and green hillsides.

The mountain functioned as a natural border marker in a region where families from Saint-Etienne-de-Baïgorry established settlements starting in the 16th century. These early communities shaped how the surrounding land was used and organized.

The peak overlooks the Aldudes Valley, where local shepherds continue raising sheep for cheese production and breeding distinctive black pigs as part of their daily work.

Several hiking trails lead to the summit from starting points in or near Banca and Urepel, with varying difficulty levels. Plan your visit according to daylight hours and weather conditions before setting out.

The peak is part of one of the longest hiking routes through the Pyrenees, stretching more than 800 kilometers from the Atlantic coast to the Mediterranean Sea. This long-distance trail connects numerous summits and valleys across a remote and lightly traveled path.
