The most common starting point is Etxeberri (Arakil), in the Arakil Valley, from where a signposted trail climbs towards the mountains.

It controlled strategic passes in the Sakana Valley and was used in conflicts between rival lineages until its demolition in 1512 following the Castilian conquest.
