Climbing

Climbing 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.
