We don't know. In this moment there is a lot of snow in the mountain. In April we can't know every year is different.Hi all did my first walk in Aug 2017 .Good weather right through (hot) .Now doing it in April starting 11th what can I expect will the pass be open from Orisson on wards.
And I'll be starting a few days behind you from Estella.I'll be coming along behind you starting on the 17th so keep me posted.
April 15th 2015, started from St Jean and Napolean was open. Cloudy, just nice temperatures and good walking to Orisson. Next morning, slightly damp from early morning mist. As we left the road to head up towards Spanish border, cold biting wind. Had to put on my sunglasses to protect my eyes. Spanish side still had places were snow was still lying and were it was melting the trail was deep mud. From Roncesvalles on the weather steadily improved and by the time we were leaving Pamplona it was hot as summer. May was freezing as we left Carrion and cold enough to almost make me give up at O Cebreiro. Generally however, the weather was very good. This April as I start again, hopefully it will be just as good but it could be freezing, Napolean could be closed till late in the month, it could pour with rain every day. The past weather is past, tomorrows weather could be completely different. In 2013, it was the worst early March weather in many years. Back home in Belfast we had snow 12ft deep when for over 30 years, the worst we had was 6 inches. Weather can be so unpredictable. I start April 6th so hoping it will have warmed up a bit but the only extras I am bringing are a woollen beanie hat, a thermal buff and a pair of Rohan fleece gloves. Lightweight but very warm. My usual will be shirts, Rohan microrib fleece, and my rain jacket and long trousers for cold morningsHi all did my first walk in Aug 2017 .Good weather right through (hot) .Now doing it in April starting 11th what can I expect will the pass be open from Orisson on wards.
