Pass by without stopping
Sanctuary of Arantzazu
Next, we will stop at the 1950’ Sanctuary of Arantzazu - a majestic monument rising above craggy rocks that is considered one of the most avant-garde religious structures in the world! Leading Basque artists like Néstor Basterretxea, Eduardo Chillida and Jorge Oteiza contributed to this incredible project. Surroundings of the Sanctuary are breathtaking!

Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park
With the spiritual energy of basilica we will start the ascent of Mount Aizkorri. Without a doubt, these rocky peaks are not only the highest but also the most scenic formations of sharp limestone massif in the Basque Country. The path will take us first through a treeless but green landscape filled with ‘latxa’ sheep and local legends. With time, grazing pastures will turn into rugged rocks and above the mountains will appear gliding birds of prey: peregrine falcon, griffon vulture, booted eagle… At the top of the mountain we will enjoy panoramic views and a well-deserved rest! It’s a perfect moment to eat delicious lunch made of highest quality local specialities like Idiazabal cheese, cured sausages, ham and tuna fish from a nearby port.
240 minutes here
Time to make a decision! You can choose between going down on your own through the San Adrian tunel or descend the same way we climbed up, accompanied by the guide. We recommend the first option that will allow you to enjoy both sides of this impressive peak and experience a historically important natural cave known by the ancients as the ‘hole to hell’. The guide will give you all the necessary information and a Walkie Talkie to safely finish the hike!
10 minutes here
Well done! After a 17 km hike you will come back to the car where your guide will reward you with a glass of a local wine before departing for San Sebastian.

Amazing hike!
Had an amazing experience with Luis today. We started off with a tour of a small farm that makes Idiazabal cheese. Then on to a perfect hike, pace and lunch in the Aizkorri-Aratz national park. The best experience on our trip yet!
Response from the operator: From meeting the people behind one of the Basque Country's most iconic cheeses to hiking through the landscapes of Aizkorri-Aratz, that's a day that captures the region at its most authentic. We love bringing together nature, local traditions and great food in a way that feels genuine rather than rushed. Hearing that it was the highlight of your trip means the world to us. Thank you for sharing the adventure with Luis, and we hope the Basque mountains have tempted you back for another visit someday!

Best day ever!
Absolutely fantastic day hiking with our guide Luis. His expert knowledge and engaging manner were perfect. And we loved our lunch, including the personal touch of home-brewed tea. His dinner recommendations were also spot on!
Response from the operator: Some of the best days in the Basque Country happen away from the busy streets, surrounded by mountains, forests and great conversation. We're delighted you enjoyed not only the hike itself, but also those little personal touches like the home brewed tea and Luis' local dinner recommendations. Those details are what turn a great day into a memorable one. Thank you for sharing your experience. We hope every meal after that lived up to Luis' recommendations!

Heavenly hike!
I don't typically write reviews, but our guide Ernes was absolutely wonderful. He took good care of my friend and I, was very informative of the area, pleasant to talk to, and patient with us, in particular coming down from the top. He made sure we took it slow and did not rush us. The scenery was breathtaking, and we enjoyed every step of the way. We got to see horses and sheep along the way. Definitely worth it!!
Response from the operator: Hey !!! Thanks a lot for your nice review. I really enjoy a lot this hike with you...and more happy to read this beautiful words. In Ikusnahi we always take care as much as we can of our clients. And I´m really proud that we arrive to the summit of one of our favorite mountains..Aizkorri! Hope to see you here again in the future ! Big Hug. Ernes.

Perfect hiking tour!
I took the Aizkorri tour with Ernes today. Absolutely amazing experience. We had a great conversation about Basque culture, possible adventures and geopolitics. Ernes and his team travel a lot and they are very knowledgeable about food, drinks and adventures :) We also had a picnic made of local food. Delicious! I'm very happy I took this tour as without Ernes it would have been very very hard to get to this mountain on my own. I have hiked around Europe quite a lot and it's my goal to cross Pyrenees next year and Ikusnahi team gave me a lot of tips on the crossing as they also have a base in the mountains! I fell in love with San Sebastian and Ikusnahi Tour is a major reason for that! Highly recommended :)

Private Aizkorri Full-Day Trek from San Sebastian: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Sebastian.
How much does Private Aizkorri Full-Day Trek from San Sebastian cost?
+
Prices start at $397 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Sebastian usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Aizkorri Full-Day Trek from San Sebastian take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Sebastian is not rushed.
Is Private Aizkorri Full-Day Trek from San Sebastian worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Sebastian, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Aizkorri Full-Day Trek from San Sebastian?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Aizkorri Full-Day Trek from San Sebastian suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Aizkorri Full-Day Trek from San Sebastian?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Sebastian can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Sebastian and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Aizkorri Full-Day Trek from San Sebastian start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Sebastian within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Sebastian?
+
On Outty we rank every San Sebastian experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small-Group Electric Bike Tour in San Sebastián, San Sebastian E-bike trour: Basque History and Cultural., San Sebastian Premium Pintxo Food, Wine & Market Foodie Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Sebastian?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Sebastian?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
