sjpp to roncesvalles

Is it feasible and pleasant to cross the Pyrenes fron St Jaques Pied de Port to Pamplona in October? Has someone experience?

...that is the question. Planning such a journey gives way to many questions. Excited to start the walk April 5th 2020 and wondering if stopping at Orisson for the first night is something I should consider. Not so much for the rest but the experience. If I do stay there I would potentially...

I will be starting my second Camino Frances on August 21. Is there a pilgrim mass that I can attend on August 20 ?

Subjective title here, but I normally do April Caminos and this one is a busy one. Arrived on the noon train on April 1st and after checking into the pilgrim office headed up to Orisson. Orisson has a renovation underway with an additional 16 beds (underneath the outdoor patio... quite the...

Hey guys, I'll start on 5 May. Now, I'm totally torn on a few things. First off, I'm flying to San Sebastian, and I booked a night there, but now I'm having second thoughts. Like maybe I should spend two days in SJPDP, and relax and enjoy before starting on May 5th. Or, just spend one night in...

Hi there. I plan to walk from St JPP to Roncesvalles in Saturday then spend the night in Roncesvalles. I have to be back In Biarritz the night of Sunday the 21st. I see an ALSA bus that leaves Roncesvalles at 3:30 Sunday afternoon. Does anyone know of a) another way to get back to Biarritz...

Hi folks, I'm am 25 doing the Camino for the first time, starting next week. I'm doing my best to keep updated about the Camino, and recently I looked at the forecast for the first part of the Frances Route - SJPdP to Roncesvalles, and it is not very exciting. On April 4th, the day I planned...

As the title says. Do we need to go to the pilgrim office to register, regardless of having the official credential, which I have bought from this website? Or are we good to go? Thanks!

Arriving in St Jean on May 11 around 16.30/17.00. Half thinking of heading up to Orisson immediately and getting a taxi back down, to make our first real day easier. Has anyone done this? We have accommodation in St Jean booked. How late is too late to start walking? We will only have day packs...

Hi all - I once had a neat graph that displayed monthly pilgrim numbers from St Jean but cannot find it now. Have done a lot of searching - I know it or similar exists! - but have failed. Can't get a link from the St Jean pilgrim office and the cathedral seems only to show those arriving in...

My wife and I arrived in Roncesvalles today. Something is different about some of the pilgrims but I can’t put my finger on it. Sharing pictures with friends sometimes yields interesting consequences!

Hey all! So I am planning my trip to walk the entire Camino Frances at the end of May 2019. I graduate from college and am looking for the "break" between undergrad and law school. I am traveling from Toronto, ON at 4:45pm and flying overnight to Toulouse, FRA, arriving at 9:05am. From there I...

Does anyone know anything about the website for Refuge Orisson being down? I know I have connected to it before, but now I am getting an error message. I was hoping to start trying to make reservations for upcoming Camino, but.....

I started from SJPP September 2nd 2017. There were huge numbers walking. The first week or two, lots of alburgues even whole villages got full. There was definitely a bed race and lots of people were booking days ahead. This year I chose to come a little earlier thinking many people wait...

Folks, I plan on walking the CF in April 19, I have just turned 60 and have no intentions of breaking any speed or endurance records as I have all the time in the world to take myself on this walk. I don’t want to walk all the way from SJPDP to Roncesvalles in one go and because I don’t want to...

I will be arriving in Paris (from Canada) on July 10th, taking an evening train to Bayonne, and then was planning to take the first train to SJPP the next morning on the 11th. I have a reservation at Orisson for the night of the 11th, but I'm just wondering if a few hours in the morning...

Hi friends, I’m new here! I’m coming from San Diego, California (where it’s sunny with an ocean breeze year round. So, hopefully, I won’t sound overly worried here.) I’m beginning my Camino on Friday. I am prepared for rain, of course, but all of my information keeps saying there will be...

Here forecast on pass of Bendarte in the montain from SJPP to Roncesvalles www.aucoeurduchemin.org/METEO-682/ You have to clic on "port de cize"

In all the years I've walked the Camino, I have never walked the Valcarlos Route. Tell me about it. Is it shorter? Longer? Steeper? Have you done both routes? Compare and contrast? Thanks Peregrinos! I'm just curious and wondering if maybe I'll go that way this year...
