Chalet d'Iraty Cize

Highlight • Mountain Hut

In the idyllic setting of Iraty, at this crossroads between Col de Burdinkurutzeta, Col Bargargi (or Col d'Iraty as it is also marked on some signs) and Surzai Lepoa, this chalet is an ideal place to have a drink and enjoy the local produce, especially raw sheep's milk cheese.
My experience at this chalet has been fantastic. The person in charge treated me very well, was very attentive to our group of cyclists and sold us some exquisite cheese. Without a doubt, a place to eat well!!!

Crossroads in Irati

Highlight • Other

It is a spectacular place, with the mountains, the lake, the trees, the meadows. Whenever I pass by there, it seems to me to be one of the most beautiful hidden places in this area of the Pyrenees. It brings together everything that characterizes the essence of the Irati area.
It is a crossroads because the road that comes from Col de Burdinkurutzeta, the road that goes up to Col de Bargagi or Col d'Iraty and the road that comes from Surzai Lepoa converge here, heading towards Artaburu.

Col Bagargiak

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Located in the heart of the Iraty Forest, the Bagargui Pass is reached via a beautiful 28-kilometer climb from Saint-Jean-le-Vieux. The climb averages 4%, with peaks reaching 11%.
At the pass, you'll find the famous Iraty chalets and a grocery store for supplies.

Col d’Orgambidesca

Highlight • Summit

Simply a spectacular view. I have passed by there many times and always stop to contemplate Mount Errozate. The most spectacular thing is to see it on clear summer days because of the contrast with the intense green of the mountain.

Towards the Bagargi Pass

Highlight • Other

Your ordeal is almost over. In sweltering heat, the last 5 km, constantly at 10-13%, become a Golgotha.

Descent of the Col d'Iraty

Highlight • Mountain Pass

It is a dangerous descent where you gain a lot of speed due to its long straights and steep slopes. You have to be very careful on hot days because I have seen many tires burst due to overheating.

Col de Bagargui

Highlight (Segment) • Mountain Pass

Or “Bagargui” in its French version.
A pass which constitutes a real challenge for any cyclist, because it is classified among the harshest in France, especially when the heat gets involved. The climb begins calmly with a normal slope during which you must take advantage of the opportunity to turn your legs and find your rhythm. Because the big piece soon arrives on the first bends with 5 km of extreme difficulty. Averages of 9.5 then 12, 13, 12.5 and 11% follow one another without any respite. But at the end of the effort you will finally be able to enjoy a magnificent panorama of the ridges and perhaps admire the flight of migratory birds or vultures.
