[QUOTE="pepi, post: 1098832, member: 93554"] Response by ChatGPT Artificial Intelligence: The stretch of the Camino Frances from St Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles is considered by many to be one of the most challenging sections of the entire Camino. This is due to a number of factors: [LIST=1] [*]Length: The distance from St Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles is around 28km. This can be a long and tiring walk, especially if you are not used to long-distance hiking. [*]Elevation gain: The route includes a significant amount of elevation gain, with several steep climbs and descents, including the famous Pyrenees mountain pass of Col de Lepoeder (1,192m). This can be challenging for people who are not used to hiking in mountainous terrain. [*]Weather: The weather in the Pyrenees can be unpredictable, with the possibility of rain and cold temperatures, even in the summer months. This can make the walk more challenging, especially if you are not properly prepared. [*]Terrain: The terrain can be rocky, with steep inclines and declines. This can be challenging for people who are not used to hiking on rocky trails. [/LIST] That being said, many people successfully complete this section of the Camino, and it is a rewarding experience. It is important to take the necessary precautions, such as properly preparing for the hike and taking the time to acclimate to the altitude if necessary. It's also important to have good hiking shoes and equipment, to be well-rested and well-fed, and to be mindful of your own limits. [/QUOTE]
