The initiative aims to promote outdoor sports, awareness of the region’s natural and cultural heritage and public participation through an experience open to everyone. Over seven days, participants will explore some of Bizkaia’s most iconic sites, following the route of the historic Montes Bocineros.

The organisers have sought to emphasise the open and participatory nature of the activity, encouraging the public to join the walkers on any of the planned stages. Those interested may complete the full route for each day or simply join the climb to the respective summit, returning afterwards to their point of departure.

The KIROLUR programme therefore continues to promote outdoor sporting activities that combine physical exercise, social interaction and appreciation of the environment, in collaboration with leading organisations in Bizkaia’s mountaineering community such as the Bizkaia Mountaineering Federation.

The seventh and final stage of the route will also coincide with the 21st edition of the Day of the Montes Bocineros, organised by the General Assembly of Bizkaia, which will once again hold a very special sporting and cultural event on 7 June at Ganekogorta.

The sound of the horn, which, according to tradition, was used in the past to announce the start of meetings held in Gernika, will guide participants on the ascent to one of Bizkaia’s most iconic summits. Following the successive ascents in previous years to Gorbeia, Oiz, Kolitza and Sollube, Ganekogorta will take over this year as the mountain at the heart of this historic event.
