The Bizkaia Mountain Federation is organizing a mountain march this weekend starting from Urizar to claim the presence of women on the summits of Bizkaia.

The activity will begin at 10:30 AM from the Urizar fronton. The group will ascend through Ugartemendi with the goal of reaching the Urizarmendi summit by 12:00 PM. At the top, participants will hold a photo session to symbolize the occupation of the peaks by women.
The return to the town is expected at 1:30 PM, followed by a group aperitif. Interested women must register through the Bizkaia Mountain Federation website, selecting the Etzandarri mountain group from Lemoiz and the Urizarmendi summit.
Although men are welcome to participate, the organizers have clarified that women are the protagonists. For men, prior registration is not required, although it is recommended to appear on the official list so that the federation can accurately record participation data across Bizkaia.
