- Time of past OR future Camino
- Planning Italy to Finisterre and back (20xx)
I'm not sure if this is the right section.
It looks like I can't cross the pass of Great Saint Bernard from October to June, the alternative would be getting a bus from the last Italian town to the first Swiss one. Or getting some crazy Italian guides to walk me through the peril of avalanches (joking). The same goes for the Moncenisio pass. So, this option is now on hold.
Taking the road from Liguria and South of France is way too expensive and a bit out of the way since I'm planning to include the Cammino di San Carlo that ends in Viverone.
So, the only way to get out of Italy looks the Montgenevre pass. I'm not happy about it as I'll need to cross Turin (I hate big cities) and since there are migrants trying to get illegally into France, I'll be probably stop and search by the gendarmerie every few Kms, which is going to be distressing. This might change by the time I'll go, which is not gonna be anytime soon.
From the Montgenevre pass I'll reach Arles, but from there I'm not sure what to do.
Originally I wanted to take the Geneva route to Le Puy, then Lourdes then SJPDP, but I don't think is a good idea walk from the Montgenevre pass to Geneva. So I was thinking to go from Arles to Lourdes to SJPDP, or from Arles to Le Puy, Lourdes and SJPDP.
I want to get specifically to SJPDP because only once there I'll decide if I want to take the Frances or the Norte.
So, which one did you prefer to walk the Camino de Arles or the Camino de Le Puy?
