Access to Aralar via the Malloas. Via the Astunalde pass from Azkárate, in the Araiz valley (Nav.), taking a good path from the church, then negotiating large boulders that have fallen from the mountain. It goes round the base until it reaches some meadows where the Uztegui and Gainza paths meet. Along this common zigzagging path you overcome the steep climb up the slopes of Oakorri and Artubi or Ardigain. It passes the Gorospeaga and Largoa springs before reaching the Astunalde pass. From Intza via the Barazail pass. The path crosses meadows along a hill until it reaches a hut. Then the path climbs up terraces. It passes next to cables installed to go down the bundles of grass to the bottom. Then an abundant spring near the rock. Beech forest and scree. The path climbs the peaks of Irumugarrieta and Aldaon. From Errazkin via Langa Baluta. This was the path most used by the people of Araiz and Betelu to go to San Miguel, as it is the lowest and easiest of the Malloas. From the village of Errazkin (Nav.) taking the highest part. The steep slope leads to the high pastures where there is a wide loop. It passes next to an abundant spring and reaches the "limits", the name given to this hill. From Baraibar (Nav.) via Langa-Baluta. the church and the pelota court of this village, take the "camino de palomeras" (dovecote path) as far as the Soan gate, at a wire fence. Continue to the right, bordering a hedge that crosses a series of hills, reaching the "borda de Tellería" and then the "cazadores" (hunters) borda. Excellent view over the Malloa. After 25 minutes you reach Langa Baluta. Here it coincides with the path that goes up from Errazkin. Through the beech forest until you reach the lowland and a view of Artxueta. In the meadows near the Malloas, which extend over a considerable area, forming a zone that has been described as being flat, countless head of livestock, mainly sheep and horses, graze in summer. The main accesses to the Aralar area are, firstly, the Lekumberri-Baraibar-Guardetxe-San Miguel and Huarte Araquil roads, then the old Madoz (Nav.) and Amézqueta (Guip.) roads, via the Minas.
