Had pretty much the same experience back in 2012. They did deign to sell us some nice sandwiches and something to drink.the person on duty was a little grumpy
I was aware of Hunto, but it seemed too close to SJPdP to stop for the day and for some unknown reason I thought it was some overflow tent option if people couldn't get a reservation for Orrison. I never realized it was actually a gite with a cafe. However, maybe at the time I assumed "gite" meant tent.I find it interesting that after following this forum for almost a year I've not heard Hunto mentioned until now. Is it right on the trail?
BTW, I will be walking the LePuy in June, and I now definately know what a gite is!
Yes, I was sick and nervous on that drive to SJPdP! We were in an older small car, a supposed "taxi" with a young driver. He drove SO fast, whipping around all the many corners "like a bat out of hell"car sickness from the drive from Pamplona to SJPP
Why not make a reservation to stay at Orisson if Pat has an injury?I walked past with out really noticing, or is it just a Gite (and for guests only)?
Our first few days this year will be very slow as Pat is carrying an injury and I thought Huntto would be a nice coffee stop before the step section to Orisson.
Is there actually a cafe open to non guests?
Yes, or take the Valcarlos route...beautiful and interesting route in its own way, too, and with more provisions along the way if needed.Why not make a reservation to stay at Orisson if Pat has an injury?

That's always an option. We plan to stop there on day 1 anyway. I was merely wondering if Huntto could be a coffee break.Why not make a reservation to stay at Orisson if Pat has an injury?
I think that is true. I went by in mid-October and it looked sort of open, but no one was in attendance at the time. I think there was a vending machine, and places to sit down and have a snack, though.The cafe is part of the gite but I suspect only open at the staff’s discretion.

Robo - Are you at the level of planning your coffee breaks now?(You know we like to tease you.)
We stayed at Orisson plus had a nice break at Huntto. I’m glad we did otherwise we would have had even more time on our hands in Orisson. It worked well.Of course, doesn't everyone
I just know that Pat will find that first section up to Orisson very hard. Between plantar faciitis and knee pain (going for MRI today) she slows down to a crawl on climbs and descents.
We are only aiming for Orisson on day 1. And so we'll take our time and enjoy the view.
I just thought Huntto would be a nice place to stop for a break..........
Before she sees the next steep section
Maybe I should run a lottery on how long it will take us to get to Orisson ?
It took me 3 1/2 hours.
I reckon with Pat it might take us 5+
But we are in no rush........
We have 50 days to get to SdC and more if needed.
Lots of time to smell the Roses......
When do you start your "Camino" ? Untill April the way by the mountain is closed. You have to pass by Valcarlos (the other way) and on this road there are bars, shops and restaurants.
Between SJPdP and Valcarlos there is only one place for food/water/petrol near the old frontier; between Valcarlos and Roncesvalles there is no place for food nor potable water. Be prepared!When do you start your "Camino" ? Untill April the way by the mountain is closed. You have to pass by Valcarlos (the other way) and on this road there are bars, shops and restaurants.
Yes of course if there is not snow it will be open but in montain we cant know. For us that's a problem. Maybe see you in SJPP. Buen Camino !Hi Monasp. We start out from St Jean on 25th April, so we are hoping the mountain route will be open then.
There is indeed and a very welcome stop it wasI walked past without really noticing, or is it just a Gite (and for guests only)?

It is hard to say but when I walked mid April 2015, the route was open even though there were still a few places that had snow on the ground but nothing deep but then you never can tell with snow. In 2013 there was snow on Perdon outside Pamplona but strangely the real problem was back home where my wife was snowed in with the worst snow fall in 50 years. You may as well ask how long is a piece of string as ask about the snow in the Pyrenees in April. Hopefully, it wont be bad as I start on the 6thHi Monasp.

Short answer: Huunto does have a cafe. It is the only thing between SJPdP and Orisson.
