Nuevo trazado del sendero "Olentzero", desaparecido tras las talas del 2024. Sendero que se construirá con la financiación obtenida del proyecto Trail Born de Shimano.

En sus orígenes, se le llamaba Olentzero al tronco con el que se alimentaba el fuego de la chimenea en Nochebuena. Al día siguiente, las cenizas de ese fuego se esparcían ante la puerta principal del domicilio, con el fin de proteger durante todo el nuevo año a la propia casa y a sus habitantes. Hoy en día, se le representa como un carbonero que fuma en pipa y entra a los hogares bajando por la chimenea, para traer regalos o carbón en el día de Navidad.

Hemos estado trabajando en la zona baja, ya que había una zona rota que te sacaba del trail. No está terminado del todo.
