TXINDOKI: a paradise for mountain lovers.


Txindoki or Larrunarri is an iconic mountain (1,346 m) located in the region of goierri , gipuzkoa, in the Basque country. Originally Larrunarri or Ñañarri, the mount took on the popularized name Txindoki  by extension after some shepherd huts nearby. It is sometimes referred to as the Basque Matterhorm too, because of its pyramidal shape. 

The main and most popular access point is from the neighbourhood Larraitz.Another option consists of starting off from Larraitz with a view to ascending through the northern wild valley of Muitze, unknown to most hikers.
