      Our Menditarrena and Etxe Zaharria lodges, located at the starting point of numerous outdoor activities (hiking, climbing, downhill scootering, rafting, canyoning, etc.), are also designed for fun stays, parties with friends or family reunions.

      The outdoor space offers a beautiful mountain setting. Breakfasts and catered meals can be served for groups upon request.

      MENDITARRENA - 49 PLACES
      Located in the center of the village of Bidarray, at the foot of the spectacular and impressive Crêtes d'Iparla, the "Menditarrena" gîte is the starting and finishing point of the most beautiful hiking stages of the GR10 in the Basque Country. The equipment of our stopover gîte in Bidarray makes it one of the most pleasant gîtes on the crossing of the Pyrenees. Composed of rooms of 3 to 7 places with bathrooms in each of them, it is very suitable for groups.

      ETXE ZAHARRIA - 30 PLACES
      Located 400 meters from the center of the village of Bidarray, at the foot of the spectacular and impressive Crêtes d'Iparla, the "Etxezaharria" cottage is a typical Basque cottage. Its architecture and setting give it a unique charm. Very popular for family reunions, the Etxezaharria cottage can accommodate up to 30 people. Its location away from the village of Bidarray makes it its main asset for spending a pleasant stay in peace and privacy in the heart of the Navarre mountains. Outside you will find a private green space with the possibility of having a barbecue and eating outside to make the most of this beautiful landscape.

    For several years now, the youth services of Saint-Aubin-de-Médoc have stayed in this gîte for a week each summer. At the end of each stay, our young people, as well as the counselors, leave amazed and with their heads full of memories. The gîte is simply extraordinary. Its location is one of its greatest assets, offering a spectacular view of the valley. Meals on the large terrace are unforgettable moments. The layout of the gîte easily accommodates a stay with about twenty young people and three counselors. Two floors are dedicated to dormitories and bathrooms. The ground floor has a large living room with a very well-equipped kitchen for preparing meals. In recent years, several parts of the gîte have been renovated, making it even more pleasant. The outdoor area also offers an ideal space for organizing activities and/or evening gatherings. The gîte is also close to the village's pelota court and the ARTEKA leisure center, which offer fantastic outdoor activities. We're going back again this year. It's a very popular stay with our young people from the community. I highly recommend this gîte and the services offered by ARTEKA. Whether you're staying with teenagers, children, or even adults, you'll find everything you need for a quality experience here.

    I am very happy with my stay there. Apart from a lack of toilets on the ground floor. But then very well equipped on the upper floors. And one last thing that we cannot correspond with them during the stay (email or telephone) stay at the end of May. But otherwise great setting.
