I have walked both and prior to walking the Le Puy to Auvillar, I had the same question (and fear) at the time, wondering if the terrain was going to be more difficult than the Primitivo. Although very different routes in many ways, I felt that one was not noticably more difficult than the other. I am willing to put up with more of a struggle in climbing/steepness when the trade-off of the beauty surrounding me is stunning. For me that's always been worth the extra push I needed. I'm glad I didn't let prior fear dissuade me and if you decide to go, you will love the Le Puy!Many thanks! By harder, I meant the steepness and distances of the stages. The primitivo for me was a bit difficult in spots. Is the Le Puy route to Conques as steep?
Thank you so much. You have really nailed my question. I have my airline ticket and now just need to get past the fear of steeps. I'm not concerned too much about the weather, as I expect anything and everything in April.I have walked both and prior to walking the Le Puy to Auvillar, I had the same question (and fear) at the time, wondering if the terrain was going to be more difficult than the Primitivo.
