Is Orrison and/or Roncesvalles the only two options on day one , going the Napoleon route, for a place to stay?

There is also private lodging at Honto before Orisson. See more in these links.

Thanks but I was thinking of somewhere past Orrison, or half way between the two

Nope. Orisson is the last place to stop before Roncesvalles.

Nops, nothing! You are in the middle of the mountains there with no villages whatsoever. There is an emergency shelter near the col (mountain peak) but that is just that - an extremely basic emergency shelter for those that got into trouble. Buen Camino, SY

Hi sitges54,

The SJPP route is well explained here but, the Valcarlos Route may offer a few more options and is not the 1,000 M + climb the Napolean route offers. This is something that can be discussed with the Volunteers. The advantage of doing this is they can provide up to date information for you.
