The best thing to do is contact the pilgrim office in SJPDP, sorry don't know the number.

The forecast is for 4 to 6 Celsius and overcast. I'll put a link to the forecast, but I would still definitely check with the Pilgrims Office. If in doubt, take the lovely and historic route through Valcarlos.

Hola Falcon - looks like rain/showers/cloudy for April 3 / 4 / 5 and cool to cold (6 deg C) - does not sound like good weather for those 3 days. Yes it is forecast to improve from April 6. But this is the Pyrenees so the weather can change at any moment. So yes check with the Pilgrim Office. Cheers

But I'm concerned about the weather! And I've no ideia if the napoleon route is open.
I'll contact pilgrins office at SJPP, but I really apreciate if somebody give me some more informations.
Thanks!

Does it really matter? Turn up. Check if it's open or not at the Pilgrims office. If not, walk the alternate route .......

The yr.no site is good for weather forecasts. You can check SJDP & Roncesvalles & derive the high pass from there

I started the camino last year and overnighted at Orisson on 13.04.17. The Napoleon route was only opened that day. There was still deep snow at the top.
Whilst I know that last year's weather has no bearing on this year's weather neither does the weather today have any bearing on tomorrow's weather.
Pick up your pack, lace up your boots stop prevaricating and get walking.

I just walked it on Friday, the trail is totally clear of snow and ice, but you need to check at the office in SJPDP for the current weather.
