in Urrugne

To the south of the Basque coastline, Urrugne stretches between the beaches of the Bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz and the first slopes of La Rhune. A vast and varied commune, it links the Atlantic Ocean to the verdant hills that signal the Spanish border within a few kilometres. Formerly a crossing territory between Basque ports and Pyrenean valleys, Urrugne retains a strong identity, marked by its scattered hamlets, winding roads, and changing landscapes. For cycling, it's an ideal transition zone between coastal rides, Basque hills, and the initial ascents towards the mountains.

The most beautiful cycling routes around the Basque coast from Urrugne

From Urrugne, coastal routes allow you to quickly reach Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Hendaye, or the beaches of Socoa. The routes alternate between seafront paths, small urban streets, and quieter sections set back from the coast. These routes offer a progressive discovery of the Basque coast, with regular views of the ocean and the surrounding landscapes. A maritime atmosphere remains ever-present, even on the shortest routes, with direct access to the unique landscapes of the Basque Country.

La Rhune and the hilly roads of the Basque Country by bike

Moving away from the coast, Urrugne opens access to the first slopes of the Rhune and the rolling roads of the Basque hinterland. The routes towards Ascain, Sare or Biriatou introduce more pronounced relief, with regular climbs and green hilly landscapes. The Rhune dominates the entire area and naturally structures the cycling routes, between forest tracks and small, enclosed valleys. It is ideal terrain for more sporting outings without leaving the proximity of the coast.
