View of the Irati forest

The Irati Forest (in Spanish "Selva de Irati") is a forest in the north of the Spanish province of Navarre and the French province of Lower Navarra in southwest France.

The Spanish part extends to the valley of the Irati River between the Orzanzurieta and Roncesvalles mountains in the west and Mount Orhi in the east. In the south the forest is bounded by the Abodi massif. The two main approaches are the Pyrenees valleys Aezkoa in the west and Salazar in the east.

The Irati Forest is the second largest and best preserved beech and spruce forest in Europe after the Black Forest . The approximately 17,000 hectare forest area is still almost untouched.
