Olhadubie

verified Ungraded Unknown flood risk Larrau, Pyrénées-Atlantiques

A three kilometer classic near Larrau reached by crossing the Holzarte footbridge: aquatic and sporty for the first four hours before the walls close into a dark, scenic gorge with no way out until the end.

No confirmed escape routes except possibly right at the very start, and even those are described as difficult. The upper basin is large, so this one is storm sensitive: check the whole catchment's forecast, not just Larrau.
