The Urkiola sanctuary is located in the heart of the homonymous natural park, in a beautiful setting surrounded by vegetation. Although the current building dates from the 19th century, it was built on the foundations of older temples, the first of which was a 13th-century hermitage.

Urkiola Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

At the top of Urkiola we will find a restaurant, a hotel and a church as well as a car park. This is a famous cycling port and a meeting point for hikers who start their ascents from this point.

It is also perfect to make a stop in case of need.

Round trip around Anboto, leaving Larringan in Mendiola, Sagasta, Axpe, Betsaide, Tellamendi forest, Zabalandi, Pol pol, Urkiola, Txakurzulu, Atxarte, Mendiola, Larringan. In the forest of Zabalandi and on the way to Pol pole there has been quite a bit of snow in many places. The path and the views are great.
