A beautiful valley with spectacular views, which can be accessed without difficulty (either from Ansó or from the Roncal valley), where you can breathe peace and tranquility and where you can enjoy a nice swim in the river on the hottest days of the year.

Isaba, also known as Izaba in Basque, is a picturesque village located in the Roncal Valley in the Navarrese Pyrenees, northern Spain. This charming village is known for its rich history dating back to the Middle Ages, when it was a strategic outpost for the Kingdom of Navarre. Isaba offers breathtaking scenery with lush green meadows in spring, colorful autumn leaves and snow-capped mountains in winter.

An ideal place to bathe in a high mountain river. The setting is idyllic and the water will surely refresh you! Don't hesitate to take a dip even if you have to take off your cycling shoes and jersey!

It is a very gentle climb that starts in the Zuriza valley and reaches the Liza refuge, where the paved road ends. The first km is the hardest with a 6% gradient, which then becomes easier with some sections that are slightly downhill. The most important thing on this climb is without a doubt the landscape that accompanies us to the refuge. In addition, it is 100% peaceful.

A beautiful port that unites the communities of Navarra and Aragón, specifically the towns of Ansó and Isaba. Specifically, it connects the Zuriza valley with the Roncal valley. It is a very affordable port and highly recommended because it allows you to travel through spectacular landscapes, on both sides. The Navarrese slope is shorter but more difficult than the Aragonese slope, which is very steep, except for the final kilometer which is 7 - 8%. What has been said, I reaffirm that it is a beautiful port that must be enjoyed.

This pass, both from the Ansó slope and the Isaba slope, presents the cyclist with a long climb (13 and 12 kilometres, respectively). On both slopes, the hardest part is at the end, highlighting the final kilometer of the ascent from Ansó, with an 8% unevenness. It is a quiet road with magnificent views of both the valleys and the nearby peaks.
