Overview
IrumugarrietaIrumugarrieta or Intzako Dorrea with its 1431 meters is the highest summit of Sierra de Aralar. When it is contemplated from the plains of Igaratza does not emphasize a lot of its environment and is even difficult to recognize as mountain individualized among the great ridge, but when it's contemplated since the north we appreciate that is the highest point of the Malloas, the great rocky wall that dominates the northeast of the range. Because of it, it's one of the most visited summits offering some perfect views of the valley and the rocky wall.
summitThe two main routes have trailhead in Casa Forestal / Guardetxe and Albia and although they can be traveled through separately, for the people trained, they can offer a very interesting one traveled through to circulate since both are separated by only 1 kilometer of road of asfalt.
The name is euskera language mean "Three Border" (frontier in the summit)
