Activity description

Do you want to visit the Basque country but don't know where to start? Take a half-day hike in the Basque Country with Laëti'tes balades!

You'll have several different routes to choose from, with a variety of points of interest! Laëtitia offers you two walks to spend an unforgettable half-day with your loved ones: a panoramic walk with breathtaking scenery and a family walk accessible to children and occasional walkers!

Accompanied by a professional guide, she will pass on her knowledge of the Basque region and try to share with you her passion for nature, the ocean and the mountains.

During your Pyrenean hike, you'll visit a number of places of interest, including the Ibardin pass on the French-Spanish border, which leads to the Xoldokogaina lake, a magnificent high-altitude lake. You can also climb the Suhalmendi, which is not very high and offers superb panoramic views!

On this hike in the Basque Country, you'll discover magnificent landscapes with 360° views, animals and charming villages in the south of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques...
