Hiking and cycling routes are available in the Gipuzkoa region of Spain, ranging from accessible paths to more challenging terrain. The Vía Verde de Arditurri provides a 12-kilometer paved route following an old railway line through Lezo, Pasaia, and Errenteria, ending at the Arditurri Mining District near the Aiako Harria massif. This route includes seven tunnels and access to underground mining galleries.

Other regional options include difficult routes through the Aiako Harria Nature Park near the France-Spain border, which feature steep terrain and historical Carlist War ruins. Additionally, the Goierri region offers shorter excursions through the Aralar Natural Park, passing traditional farmhouses and viewpoints near Mount Txindoki.
