Stage 3
IRATI - ZUBIRI
Distance: 92 km Unevenness: 1.820 m
Arnostegi, a COL of the "greats" and Northern Navarra. Pilgrims environment.
The Roman tower of Urkulu is going to keep an eye on us for much of this third stage. Essentially when climbing to the COL of Arnostegi. This Pyrenean colossus has 5 great ascents. We have chosen the one that passes through Ondarolle, but in Arnegi we can choose other two tougher options through Bellurti.
Sometimes due to the influx of pilgrims it may be necessary to seek accommodation outside Zubiri.
Last stage, hard fight in the ascent to COL of Arnostegi by Ondarolle. Better to bring good "paella" in the back wheel.
Crowning Bellurti in the fog, one of the best weather conditions to raise "cooled" the hard and prolonged slopes of this Pyrenean colossus.
And much better if a little later the fog stays down. Bucolic scenes in the 5 star territory of the Basque Pyrenees.
In the center, prehistoric settlement of Zerkupe, BASOAK scenario on the gentle slopes on the upper part of Arnostegi.
We are going to Orgambide.
Cultural recreation of cromlech in front of Errozate mountain.
Powerful Pyrenean landscape between the steps of Orgambide and Azpegi. In background, slopes of Artaburu and Errozate. Irati Extrem Territory.
Reconditioned remains of the former Orbaitzeta Weapons Factory. We are already on the southern slope.
Passed the Port of Lapitzea. Southern slope of the Pyrenean Navarre between Aribe and Espinal.
We are already heading towards Pamplona, ascending the small Port of Mezkiritz.
