I am looking for a gpx route for the French way, starting at St Jean, but as I will be going in February I need a GPX of the low route, the route that does not take the high mountain pass for the first 3 days, HELP

You can download them here. I think they have the lower route as well.

Regarding GPS/GPX and the Valcarlos alternate route see this earlier Forum thread. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...pp-to-ronscavalles-via-valcarlos-route.30924/

Just to put your mind at ease, by all means download a track from the sources mentioned above, but you will soon notice that you don't need it. The way is well marked. What you will need is this http://www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/ a list of albergues that are open during the winter. Buen Camino, SY

I have extracted the tracks in the file at the link, and there is a track for the lower route. It doesn't appear to have the section in it where I tried to walk back to Bayonne when I missed a mark at one point. I am so disappointed to find that my meanderings there (and elsewhere) were not part of the 'official' path.
