Mendiak et Herriak Ski Cross Country (whose name means "Towns and Mountains" in Spanish) was created in 1976 as a company dedicated to adventure and outdoor sports and activities. It is based in the Navarrese town of Gainza, less than 45 minutes by car from the city of Pamplona. One of its specialties is precisely cross-country skiing.

The star activity they offer for this discipline is the Great Jura Traverse, a route that has a total of 120 kilometers in length and that crosses the French massif with the same name. Logically, you can do the entire route or just a section. To complete the entire route, the journey takes several days, and you have to sleep in the shelters. It is without a doubt a unique and unforgettable experience.

It must also be said that the Jura route is a circuit accessible to everyone, since it has very few difficult sections and the gradient is very gentle at all times. It is also well known for the beauty and grandeur of its landscapes, dotted with forests, picturesque towns and traditional farms.

Mendia eta Herriak Senderismo is a Navarrese company created in 1976 and since then it has lived up to its name, which means "Towns and Mountains" in Spanish. It has its facilities in the town of Gainza, in the province of Navarra. For this reason, many of the hiking routes it offers pass through this region and the Basque Country. However, it also organizes tours to the rest of the country and to other places in the world such as: Morocco, Nepal, India, Kyrgyzstan, Peru, Colombia, Patagonia...

The good thing about hiking is that it can be as easy and relaxed or as complicated as hikers want. In other words, you can do very easy routes whose main objective is to spend a pleasant day enjoying the countryside or you can organize much more demanding routes for lovers of high mountains. This is the case, for example, of all glacial crossings or high winter mountain expeditions, which in themselves represent a small adventure and survival experience.

Much of the success of this type of activities depends on the quality of the guides. In the case of Mendiak eta Herriak, these are among the best, and they also have extensive experience. Together with them you will be able to travel the world on foot and discover landscapes that you could never have imagined.
