Refuge Orisson luggage transfer

[Corelacka]

For anyone using baggage transfer from SJPP and considering staying in Refuge Orisson, they state on their confirmation email that they are working exclusively with Transports de Bagages Harispe and will not accept luggage from other companies. This company also offers transfers from Biarritz airport on a shared taxi basis, similar to Express Bourricot.

Interesting.
Here's their page about their "partners.". Unfortunately their link to this company does not work.

I did find the site for VTC Harispe, but no mention of luggage transfer.

I will not be using luggage transfer but this might be helpful to people who are still at planning stage. So happy to have got a booking there!

That's the site that I found, but there's no mention of luggage transfer services.

Hi Corelacka, can you advise where exactly you saw the word “exclusive,”

we have a booking confirmed for refugee Orrison in May and intend to freight our baggage each day on the Camino. I have rechecked our confirmation and the Refuge website and they proved a link to their “ partner” transport company but they don’t mention it being exclusive or not accepting other luggage companies. Are you able to confirm where you saw this info originally so we don’t fall into this trap when the time comes. Is anyone else able to confirm Corelacka’s statement for me.

thanks jim

This was at the end of the confirmation email I received on 4 January for a May reservation.

Thanks so much, our Confirmation dosent have that last bit about only accepting from their future partner. Thanks for the heads up, it’s not a problem we can book with them just good to know. Thanks looks like they have decided to alter their process recently, we booked early Dec.
cheers Jim

2022 I had mine transported by Express Bouricott. I can't believe that Orisson would severe that relationship but who knows.
I am also intrigued by the wording - "FUTURE partner". Does that mean that this may NOT come to fruition come beginning of the season?
Oh well... reckon the hike from SJPdp to Roncesvalles will have to be "in full gear" from now on (else stay at Bourda)

Has anyone been able to find a link to this company that does work?

This link works, but it only references passenger transport, not baggage. Hopefully that will be updated soon. In the meantime, you can write to Orisson.

I wrote to Orisson and they told me to use the company's website. They were not helpful.

 

[rhsarnoff]

Here is the link for the luggage transport company if you are staying at Refugio Orisson.
harispe.peio@gmail.com
I think the address changed but this one works and they do transport luggage as well as people. I hope this helps.

The company Transports de Bagages Harispe or VTC Harispe now calls itself Donkey Service and their prices are now on their website.

See:

Similar prices and offers as the well known company Express Bourricot:
https://www.expressbourricot.com/

Bourricot is French for little donkey.

I hope no donkeys are harmed while transporting the luggage of the Pilgrims!

I have been successful contacting Peyo who will organize the transport. You can use the email donkeyservice.team@gmail.com if you are having difficulty with the website. While I have not yet used the service, Peyo has been very responsive to my emails. Good luck.

Orisson is already losing business to BORDA.
All it would take is another good option to open up between SJPP and Orisson and I think a lot of people would stop going there. They aren't particularly friendly already. I've heard a lot of complaints. And how in the heck are people who have already BOOKED transport supposed to know about their new deal? What will happen to a person's bag if it's delivered by a different company? Will they just leave it outside or ???
THAT's the Camino Spirit, Orisson?!

April 2024 is less than 24 hours away and Orisson is holding on to their new luggage transport policy if the current information on their website is to be believed. It also answers the question: "What will happen to a person's bag if it's delivered by a different company?"
