  • Guide to the Navarrese Pyrenees

    The Pyrenees rise up to the North of Navarra in a mountainous region where the visitor will encounter a landscape of soaring peaks and deep valleys, shady woods and dazzling alpine meadows, ravines and gorges.

    The Pyrenees Mountain range descends gently from East to West. From the border with Aragon to the Bay of Biscay, the climate changes from Continental to Atlantic and the landscape is transformed from the escarpments of the Larra massif to the perennially green in the Baztan Valley, or the imposing plateaux of the Aralar and Andia ranges.

    The Pyrenees Mountains of Navarra are traversed by valleys formed by the rivers: Esca, Salazar, Irati, Urrobi, Erro and Arga, which flow towards the Aragon and the Ebro and those of the Cantabrian hills: Bidasoa, Leizaran and Araxes. Lumbier, located 38km from Pamplona on the lower slopes of Mount Arangoiti in the Leire range, is the starting point for any incursion into the Eastern Pyrenees. Accessible from Biguezal, the mountain offers a superb vantage point and close by is an airfield for light flights. On the other side of Mount Arangoiti is the Romanesque Leyre Monastery.
