The sacred mountain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located near Urrugne, Sare, Ascain and Saint-Jean-de-Luz, La Rhune is the sacred mountain of the Basque Country.\nHome to dolmens and cromlechs, this emblematic mountain marks the border between Spain and France, as well as the traditional territories of Labourd and Navarre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climbing La Rhune on foot is a well-established custom, offering total immersion in Basque nature.\nThe ascent, generally completed in 1 or 2 hours, is facilitated by signposted paths, ideal for lovers of walking and authentic landscapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
