El valle de Kuartango vive recogido en un rincón placentero de Álava. En esta excursión elegimos subir a su cúspide desde la localidad de Arriano en un itinerario que tiene dos parte bien diferenciadas. En la primera, una pista te lleva a la planicie superior. En la segunda, se atraviesan los pastizales hasta que el terreno cambia y en los últimos metros el suelo es algo más irregular.
Ubicación: Sierra de Arkamo, Álava.
Cima: Repico (1.175m).
Desnivel acumulado: 562m.
Distancia: 10,41km.
Duración: 3h.
Acceso: Partimos desde la localidad alavesa de Arriano, en el valle de Kuartango, accesible desde Zuazo de Kuartango.
10:33 Dejamos el coche en el parking que hay en Arriano (748m).

Aquí el terreno se ensucia, afloran el lapiaz y la vegetación, y hay que seguir los hitos con atención. En cualquier caso, el rumbo es evidente.

LAS NOTAS (La escala es del 1 al 5):
DIFICULTAD: 3. Itinerario fácil y marcado hasta las campas. En la parte final, hay que ir con atención.
BELLEZA DEL ITINERARIO: 3,5.Precioso valle y bonita ascensión a las campas. Gran panorámica.
IMPORTANCIA DE LA CUMBRE: 3.
Y ASÍ LO VIO MI PADRE: Mi partenaire me comenta que "me sorprendió la belleza del valle de Kuartango".
Y así fue la ascensión al guardián de Arkamo.
