There are many points from which one can approach these dolmens: from Aranzazu, from Otzaurte and from Zalduendo.

The most convenient and frequently-used access to those that are located within the moors of Urbia and nearby is from Aranzazu. By following the customary route one comes to Urbia. The first dolmen that can be visited is Gorostiaran West , situated 30 metres NE of the shrine, on a limestone pavement. From here one can get to Gorostiaran East , situated some 430 metres from the Urbia benta (bunkhouse-bar) . From this dolmen one comes to Pagobakoitza , situated next to the path that leads from the benta to Perusaroi. It's on the lefthand side of this path, at the ENE foot of Kalparmuño crag. From here one comes to Kalparmuñobarrena dolmen , which is 200 metres to the S of Pagobakoitza . Continuing via the track that leads to Perusaroi mountain refuge, one comes to Zorrotzarri menhir , situated 150 metres NNW of the shelter. From here, 420 metres SSW of the above-mentioned refuge, is Pagarreta dolmen , to the N of the centre of the pass of the same name.

Aizkorritxo dolmen is higher up than all the previous ones, on the ridge of the same name. It can be reached directly from the Gorostiaran dolmens. From Aizkorritxo it's easy to get to Artzanburu , situated at approximately the same altitude as Aizkorritxo and some 1,800 metres WNW of it. From here one can make one's way down to Aranzazu via the Malla sheep pen and the Gomistegi track. Some 300 metres SW of the Malla txabolas, in the middle of a pine wood, is Malla tumulus .
