EDURNE PASABAN, BIG FAN OF GOIERRI!
Climbing
In the village of Ataun in Goierri, there are many areas with rocks and crags that are suitable for practising sport climbing. You will find several schools with training courses. There are 250 climbing routes with varying levels of difficulty.
You will find climbing schools in Jentilbaratza, Aizkorrandi, Haitzartea and Lizarrusti. In Aizkorrandi, climbing is only allowed from July to November because the area is also where vultures and some other protected birds come to find shelter and mate.
This new climbing school has a parking area nearby to you to leave your car. They have good quality rock and an easy cliff base. A lot could still can be done in terms of equipping the area.
Leave your car in the parking area next to Lizarrusti’s Interpretation Centre and you’ll get to the school in no more than 15 minutes through a beautiful path. This school is great in summer, not too hot!

In Ataun, you have an extra feature: their dome-shaped rock, formed when a low-density rock locally breaks through the crests or penetrates along and faults the surrounding rocks. It takes place along the resulting plateau around mounts Jentilbaratza, Aizkoate, Aizkorrandi, Arastortz, Agautz, Leizadi, Asundi, Loibideko Mailoak and Ikarandieta, popularly known as Aitzarte.
If you want to get a great view, go to the top of mount Arantzazumendi, located in the border between Ataun and Idiazabal.
To preserve the area’s unique flora and fauna, climbing is restricted to certain months and certain places. Climbing is not allowed in Sastarri, Aizkoate, Intzartzu, Artzateaitza nor Ataun’s Dome, except in the surroundings of Aitzarte’s Climbing school.
