...how many miles from the Madonna down to Roncesvalles?

I have completed two Caminos both starting in Pamplona. This May I will have more time and able to start in SJPP on May 6th. I am wondering how much cold weather clothing to bring. I always bring a fleece and a raincoat. Could I double up on those or am I underestimating the weather in the...

Hi everyone I am a very new to the Camino - so thought it a good idea to book a few nights ahead. I used the Refuge Orisson reservation option on their website and had my reservation confirmed with an invoice. However there is no indication of what deposit is required to secure the booking or...

I was on the Camino Francés in September 2021. Orisson was full. I walked from my albergue, the Bidean in St-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Orisson and back; stayed again at the Bidean (and enjoyed the wonderful meal prepared by Joe the chef and part-owner with Pascal) and the next morning rode with the...

I know the best answer to this question is dependant on our physical conditioning and the weather, but I'm hoping for some advice from veterans who may be in similar physical condition. My husband and I will start our camino in SJPP on Sept. 8, 2022 and our plan has been to make the trek all the...

Hello everyone. So excited to be planning a long weekend on Camino Frances in June. Our plan is to arrive in Biaritz at 12.30pm on a Thu and make our way to start from St Jean. We would like to get some walking in on our first day and I'm looking for suggestions of a good area/place to stay...

Hola, When I make my reservation for Roncesvalles Pilgrim's hostel - Monastery ... should I make it with dinner and/or breakfast. I have read through the posts and am finding it a bit confusing. Is dinner offered in the Hostel, or do they send you a restaurant and if so, do you choose the...

Hi Guy's, I just wanted to know if someone else is getting the same problem as me. I am trying to book Orisson for May 21st for 3 people. The site says it has taken my booking but cannot get a reply or conformation etc. very confusing as we defo want to stay there as missed it last time...

A reminder to pilgrims walking in March 2022 from SJPDP (of whom there seem to be quite a few). The Napoleon Route is closed until 1 April, and after that it is dependant on weather. If you are starting out in March then you will be walking via Valcarlos. I have walked both routes several...

I booked my flight. I can start either March 31 or April 1. Those of you who have done this route many times...do you think its worth the gamble to start on April 1, in hopes that the Napoleon route might be open? Or would you just plan on Valcarlos?

I know there are tons of threads about Orisson, but I have a very specific question. The search function hasn’t given me the info I need. I remember staying in Orisson in a room that was across the road from the main building, under the deck where people sit outside. I believe it had only...

Hi all, Long time dreamer, first time walker. I am in currently planning my first camino to start on April 14, 2022. I am staying the night at Albergue Borda and on to Roncesvalles on April 15, A.K.A. good friday. What I am trying to find is the time for the Good Friday Mass in Roncesvalles. I...

Hello all! We are beginning the Camino Frances in mid August...I have searched the forum but I am looking for recent info on where to stay in SJPDP for a night before heading out. any suggestions? Many thanks for your expertise! be well bill

Hi Everyone, Thanks for your advice. I don't want to walk from SJPDP to Roncesvalles in a single day. Normally I would overnight at Orisson before continuing to Roncesvalles on the Route de Napoleon but as I depart SJPDP on 7 April neither Refuge Orisson or Auberge Borda may be open. The obvious...

Hi there, last Camino I stayed at the wonderful Beilari in SJPP. This year I'll be walking w my immuno-compromised daughter and am planning to stay in private accommodations. Any suggestions for another great place to start our Camino? Thanks

I plan to walk the Camino starting from St Jean Pied de Port, next June. From what I have read, the first day from St. Jean to Roncesvalles is very difficult. Being a bit older, 72, and wanting to enjoy the walk, is it better to split the first day and spend the night about 10km outside St...

Hi everyone I have a couple of questions re the Albergue in Roncesvalles ,have searched the forum and threads go back to 2017 so wondering about the present state of play; 1. From what I can see you don't have to book a bed but would it be advisable to do so for the coming May. 2.When booking...

I walked the Valcarlos route to Roncevalles but am planning to do the Napoleon this April. I have a couple of questions if any pilgrim can help me: 1. I would like to do the shorter but more difficult way down from the top. I have watched a number of videos but everyone I saw took the longer...

Hi folks Ive filled out the online booking form for Roncessvalles but each time I try to send it says the date which is 21st May 2022 is out of season. Any help appreciated.
