    Orisson Building Damage?

    A post from a member last week touched on an Orisson reservation response: We are sorry but we have had some damage on part of our accommodation that cannot be exploited and therefore we cannot keep your reservation. We refund the deposit. The Kayola gite, located 800m before the Orisson Refuge...

    Biarritz to St Jean - Beginning day after 1pm to Roncevalles?

    The best flight I can find is arriving at Biarritz at 10am. The train from Biarritz to St Jean is around 1.5 hours so I may roughly arrive around midday. Is it safe enough to leave St Jean at 1pm and get to Roncevalles before dusk? There are also flights into Barcelona and Carcassone (France)...

    Refuge Orisson

    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...

    What to do if there is no bed in Orisson

    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...

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    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.

    Pilgrims walking in March from SJPDP - Napoleon closed

    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...

    Valcarlos/Napoleon and start date

    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?
