The summit is 250 meters high and can be reached via a singletrack trail from the forest road. It's best to climb from the Bilbao side and then descend the singletrack towards Basauri. Coming from Basauri, it's not really rideable; pushing would be necessary.

From the top of Muniketa or Montecalvo, there are exceptional views and you can see the sea and Urdaibai on one side, as well as the Duranguesado on the other.

From Muxika, the ascent is 9 kilometers and a total of 382 meters of positive slope. More info at: https://www.muxikakoudala.eus/es-ES/informacion-cultural/Barrios/Paginas/Muniketa.aspx
