The Vale that the municipality of this Araitz forms composed by the councils of Azkarate, Gaintza, Intza, Uztegi and Arribe-Atallu.
Principal natural attractions of the vale are: saw of Malloak, scenery and popular architecture and mountaineering. The Malloak there is the set of rocks of the saw of Aralar that, cut to peak on the slope East, fall down straight on vale of Araitz, from which his vision is vertiginous.
The Aralar saw has two clearly differentiated slopes. Towards Guipuzcoa, the plateau is modulated by soft forms that give form to the most emblematic meadows of height of Basque Country. Towards Navarre, on the contrary, the differences fall down in stung forming it Malloa, the imposing stack that defends the saw from statutory territory and makes her seemingly unassailable. That one elongated hill range is formed by a series of summits with personality own. In his north end, the most important level is the Uakorri.
The rock of Uakorri, like figure in the official tops catalog of the federation, although the Amezketa neighbors know it like Oakorri or Ardigain. This denomination answers to this profile more kindly that it offers from the Arritzaga ravine, in contrast with his abrupt forms from Araitz (Navarre).
