Last year I walked Camino Aragonese in June, and I like to do it next spring again. Is it possible to walk over Somport the first week in May ? Do you recommend another route this time of year ?

Should be ok, but if you start in France, there may be road works and trail damage up to the pass on that side from weather late this year. Maybe just take the bus to the Somport pass and start there.

I think it’s always a year to year and day to day but we went over the pass this year on April 3rd in glorious sunshine. They were still skiing at Candanchú but just barely. I would think May would probably safe. @trecile went over about a month +/- later me and may have some thoughts.

Enjoy!

A few days ago on another thread discussing variants on the Aragones I posted about a different start point. You will probably want to read the whole thread anyway.
