The main stretch of the GR-12 is designed for sport hiking and provides breathtaking views from the mountain ridges, though inhabited areas are scarce. The Navarre section is well-marked, even if some areas may show signs of wear.
While trekking the GR-12, you’ll enjoy the stunning natural surroundings and panoramic views. In some sections, the trail overlaps with GR-121, and in Lizarrusti, it connects with GR-20 (Aralar Loop) and GR-35 (Transhumance Trail), offering more ways to explore the region.
This route is perfect for those looking to connect with nature and enjoy a day of hiking. Be sure to bring enough water, food, proper clothing, and sturdy footwear, as some stages can be demanding.
If you’re looking for a place to relax after your hike, the Hotel Restaurante Venta de Ultzama is an excellent choice. With a cozy atmosphere and quality services, it’s the perfect spot to recharge and enjoy a good meal before continuing your adventure through Navarre. Dare to hike the GR-12 and discover the beauty of Euskal Herria!
