WHAT TO SEE IN ARESO

Located on the muga-border with Gipuzkoa, Areso was burned in 1794 by French troops. It re-emerged on the same slope, with its beautiful silhouette surrounded by the same mountains and grasslands. We present a mountain route, to the top of Ulizar, in which you have to climb slopes and exhaust your legs, but where the views and beech forests compensate for the efforts. At the end of the route we will approach an octagonal laundry room from 1915 where we will remember the arduous task of washing clothes in such cold waters.

USE

The summit offers a wide panoramic view of the Aralar mountain range and Gipuzkoa. Nearby are the ruins of the old hermitage of Santa Cruz.
