The route

Signposted climb from Ezcaray to the Valdezcaray ski resort, in the Sierra de la Demanda. Tarmac in good condition, steady ramps through beech woods and an open finish with views over the Oja valley. It starts in Ezcaray, with parking, fountains and cafés for before and after. Best from May to October: in winter the road has skier traffic and there may be ice. Take a jacket for the descent, as it's cool at the top.

Track based on OpenStreetMap (signposted climb CIMA LR07) (ODbL).
