The Navarrese Pyrenees are easy to reach:
Pamplona, the principal centre of communications in the
area, is the main starting point. From Pamplona/Iruñea,
the areas embraced by the Consortium can be accessed: |
- from the south, on the N-240 arriving in Roncal
via Yesa. If you leave the road at the so-called Venta
de Judas (Judas’ Inn) –near Lumbier-,
then you can reach another West Pyrenean valley: the
Valley of Salazar, via Romanzado and Almiradío
de Navascués.
- on the N-150 Pamplona-Urroz road. Join the NA-172
in Aoiz to access the Valley of Arce. The Valley of
Arce is an access point to the Valley of Aezkoa.
The same road leads to two areas within the Consortium
which, while not so well known, are still of great
interest: The Valley of Urraúl Alto, to the
north of the River Irati, and the Valley of Urraúl
Bajo, to the south.
- on the NA-135 Pamplona-St Jean-Pied-de-Port road.
Also known as the Camino de Ultrapuertos (The Road
of the Ultrapasses). After crossing the Valleys of
Esteribar and Erro, this road continues on to Auritz-Burguete,
Orreaga-Roncesvalles and Luzaide-Valcarlos. A crossroads
near Aurizberri-Espinal takes you to Aezkoa.
