How long to walk from St Jean to Orisson Refuge?

[Nauzanplage]

Planning to walk to from St Jean to Orisson, leaving at about 5 pm next week. Maps seem to indicate about 8 to 10km, but with a steep incline I wanted to make sure we could get to Orisson whilst its still daylight. How long does it actually take?

Hello!
You will use about 2 and a half hours to Orisson following a road most of the way. There is a path after Huntto cutting some curles of the road, but you can take the road there too if it gets dark. I guess you will bring a head light or something like that to use at the refugios in the dark.
But it is often full at Orisson so you should book ahead. Buen camino.

Unfortunately arriving after 7 pm you will most probably miss the pilgrim dinner.

From what I remember, the part from Honto to Orisson is the steepest uphill part of the route over the Pyrenees. (But that's not the whole 10 kilometres, thank goodness.) How long it'll take you really depends on how fast you can walk. I'd say 2.5 to 3 hours is a good guesstimate.

Buen Camino!

Many thanks for the help on this.

I hope to arrive at St Jean at about 4.30 pm. I have booked into Orisson, but Dinner is at 6.30 pm at this time of year.

So we will have to get our skates on...... but difficult uphill.

Off tomorrow - can't wait to start.

How long is a piece of string. It’s 7km and how fast you walk. 1 hour 30 mns but allow 2 hours. I walked the route 11 times and I find it easy

I wonder if there's some simple formatting that can be applied, maybe a different background colour to highlight that a thread is over 12 months old?

I know people who took 5 to 7 hours to walk it... some are in better shape than others...

I guess you already got there, judging from the date. So did you manage to make it for dinner?
