El Bosque o Selva de Irati está repartido entre el norte de Navarra (España) y el país vasco francés entre Sola y Baja Navarra al suroeste de Francia.
Es el segundo bosque de hayas y abetos más grande del continente europeo. Una masa forestal densa y espectacular como pocas en la que no faltan tampoco otros árboles como avellanos, alerces, tilos, tejos, olmos, sauces... en un magnífico paisaje de media montaña pirenaica y con el embalse de Irabia como principal atractivo.
A pesar de estar explotado forestalmente desde los siglos XVI-XVII, el respeto y el buen hacer de los habitantes de estos valles ha hecho que se conserve en total plenitud. Existen dentro de la zona diversos espacios protegidos: todo el Irati es una "ZEPA" (Zona de Especial Protección de Aves), así como zonas protegidas como Reserva Natural o Reserva Integral del total de 17.000 ha del bosque.
Además de la selva, Irati contiene una gran riqueza faunística, donde sobresalen los ciervos, cuyo celo o "berrea" puede disfrutarse en otoño, además de especies en peligro de extinción que encuentran aquí uno de sus últimos reductos, como los pájaros carpinteros, pito negro y pico dorsiblanco, entre otras muchas. Irati contiene además varios endemismos pirenáicos tanto de flora como de fauna, como el tritón pirenáico.
