Jara

Return, Loop, Walking

A real hinge mountain between two valleys and also between Saint- Étienne-de-Baigorry and Saint-Jean- Pied-de-Port, the Jara stretches above 800 m revealing the mountains of Basse Navarre. The entire hike is on the south side, starting from Irouléguy. Historically, this village was chosen by the monks of Roncevaux to plant vines. Despite the constraints of the relief, the vineyard continues to progress reasonably on the lower part of the Jara, around the old priory. From limestone to sandstone, you will have a glimpse of the richness of the terroirs as you climb up. The picnic area at the top is an opportunity for a well-deserved break. Two orientation tables allow you to identify all the emblematic peaks of Lower Navarre. Take the time to appreciate this panoramic landscape that stretches to the ocean.
