The main access point widely used, especially on Sundays, lies on the farm-turned-snack bar Besabi. In order to get there by car, starting from a T junction at the road GI-311 (Andoain-Urnieta), the minor road GI-3121 leading to Xoxoka should be followed, there switching to GI-4721 with direction to Besabi (dead end, 0h00). Car park at the end of the road. A concrete track heading south-east gains gradually height until a farmhouse with a yard is reached. There a makeshift gate should be crossed on the right (348 m, 0h10), a beaten mud trail bound south-east penetrates on the forest, increasingly sinking into a neatly delimited hollow.
At the beginning, pine forest towers on the left hand, soon shifting to an open charming beech forest. At this point, the stream Sorotxota is crossed (440 m, 0h30) and height is gained slowly out of the forest on to the fields. Overcoming the last south-bound stretch to the summit (open ground) does not take very long, but it is demanding. Right before the summit heaps of stone in a karst terrain cover the trail (811 m, 1h25). Height difference from Besabi: 514 m.
For the descent, walking down the southern side of Adarra the col of Eteneta is reached, where a prehistoric standing stone (menhir) rises proud. This spot has been for ages a landmark for shepherds. Turning direction and heading north-west, the meadows give way to bushy landscape and a patch of narrow paths, soon merging into one. The trails cut through the western side of Adarra until the beech forest of the ascent is again attained.
Another option back consists of heading down from Adarra straight to the north, the pass of Mantale is reached south of the Aballarri rocks (small dolmen and other vestiges around).
The trail opens its way out of the rocks, then a dramatic slope leads down to a concrete track that heads west back to Besabi.
