Aitzkorri or Aitzgorri or Aizkorri is a massif, the highest one of the Basque Country (autonomous community) with a height of 1,551 m AMSL. The massif is formed by a crest of limestone mountains that runs from west to east in the south of the Gipuzkoa province. The highest point is on a summit called Aitxuri.
The main ascension route comes from the south west, from the Sanctuary of Arántzazu (Oñati), where a trail goes up through a thick forrest of beeches and ends at the Urbia meadows. From there the route climbs up to the summits (Aizkorri, Aketegi, Aitxuri and others).
