The Orgi Forest
Nature walks through the humid oak forest
Anyone visiting the Ultzama Valley should not miss a relaxing walk through the Orgi Forest, located in the southern part of the valley, next to the road from Lizaso to Eltso-Gerendiain.
Orgi is an oak forest stretching south of the Ultzama Valley, 25 km from Pamplona. This ancient 80-hectare woodland is the only remaining example of Navarre’s humid oak forests, rare ecosystems of great ecological value.
The trails in the Orgi Forest are easy, flat and accessible, allowing visitors to enjoy the many nuances of this unique landscape.
Due to its great biodiversity, it was declared a Recreational Natural Area. It is home to centuries-old pedunculate oaks and a dense undergrowth of holly, elderberry and hawthorn, as well as a wide variety of birdlife.
Visitors can enjoy three nature trails with informative panels, totaling 2.2 km, making this natural environment enjoyable for both adults and children alike.
How to get there
There are two possible routes. The most accessible is via the N-121-A towards France, turning off towards Lizaso at Ostiz. The other follows the N-240-A to Aizoáin and descends to Marcaláin via the N-4110.
If you are coming from Donostia, take the A-15 to Urritza.
