Accessible by a short walking of 30 minutes from the district of Ibarron, the mount Saint Barbe offer a view on 360° on the valley, the mountains surrounded and on the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. The hike crosses a nice little Roman bridge. The way makes a loop and lasts more or less 1:30 /2 hours. You can take advantage of beautiful points of views. This way is also accessible with mountain bikes
