Sierras de Urbasas and Lokiz

The Sierra de Urbasa-Andia is one of the most impressive natural areas in Navarre. This gravel route runs through this spectacular region, starting
in the small village of Murieta and following the Vasco Navarro rail trail towards Estella.

The picturesque Allín valley serves as a prelude to the Améscoas, following a path that involves a certain degree of technical difficulty for gravel bikers but is worth taking in order to avoid the asphalt and enjoy the surroundings. The first demanding climb on the route, towards the Sierra de Urbasa, starts from Baquedano. The route allows you to cover the magnificent Urbasa plateau from east to west, passing the breathtaking viewpoint known as Balcón de Pilatos (Pilate’s balcony).

At the end of the mountain, descend towards Larraona. From there, climb up the Sierra de Lokiz, another plateau to cross, and then descend to the Lana valley. Ride through this very sparsely populated area heading to Zúñiga, where you return to the Vasco Navarro rail trail and back to Murieta.
