Casa Etxalde is an ideal starting point for mountain sports lovers as it is located in an orographically very diverse area.

Recommended route (hiking):
Casa Etxalde-Castillo de Rocabruna-Casa Etxalde: We start and finish at Casa Etxalde. It is a short route but with some sections with steep slopes. The most interesting part of the route is in the Castle of Rocabruna of the sX Although it is quite deteriorated you can see architectural details such as the opus spicatum used by the Cathars. In recent times, restoration and archaeological works are being carried out, in which rooms of the castle that were buried are being found. Great views of the Rocabruna valley.
