Irati Barnean is not a hotel, nor an apartment, it is and therefore is not comparable to any of these typologies. Irati Barnean is something more similar to what you can live a mountain refuge, but with all the comforts and with a very careful design.
A mountain refuge, hostel or hut is a building designed to accommodate and protect climbers or hikers from the weather, which is located in mountain areas, usually difficult to access.
It is an experience converted into accommodation where the main idea is that you feel, live, breathe nature in its purest form accompanied by silence and maximum relaxation. In the heart of the Irati Forest and totally away from urban areas we have built 5 igloo-shaped rooms suspended on terraces from where you can enjoy magnificent views and all that nature has to offer.
It is the second largest and best preserved beech-fir forest in Europe, after the Black Forest in Germany. An immense green spot of about 17,000 hectares that remains in an almost virgin state.
Located in the eastern Pyrenees of Navarre and surrounded by mountains, it offers endless routes and activities in the Irati Forest. Discover its villages, mountains, rivers, myths and legends, its fauna, its gastronomy…
We believe in responsible tourism with the environment, cultural and social environment. Irati Barnean combines respect for the environment, harmony with the natural surroundings and the offer of a unique experience, resulting in a differentiated and exclusive service in the heart of the Irati Forest. A responsible tourism with the planet, far from crowds and in direct contact with nature. Our igloos have been built through an innovative modular and ecological building system that adapts to the user, the environment and cold and warm climates.
The materials used in its construction are low impact and minimal gray energy incorporated in its manufacturing process, a passive building and almost zero energy. The insulation and orientation of the structures seek to reduce energy consumption as much as possible. We select km 0 and natural foods, promoting local commerce. We offer different activities in collaboration with local companies, thus supporting employment in rural areas. Responsible companies related to active tourism that, through their activities, train and educate visitors. Attracting quality tourism to a rural area to bring communities closer and make them known without altering their traditions and customs.
If you are interested in renting our entire facilities for yoga retreats, meditation, reiki, company meetings, photo shoots, videos, advertisements… please contact us and we will be happy to help you with whatever you need.
Transportation to the igloos is limited. An unpaved gravel road where you will enjoy magnificent views is part of the experience.
Travel calmly, without haste and enjoy every detail, everything you can imagine awaits you in Irati Barnean.
