Hi - when you get to to St Jean go to the Pilgrims' Office there:

St Jean Pied-de-Port Accueil St Jacques,
39 rue de la Citadelle

They will provide you with a Pilgrim Passport and up to date information on weather conditions etc. TAKE THEIR ADVICE particularly about which route to take to Roncevalles.

Buen Camino

John

Pete, thanks. I'm sure you know this but perhaps I should have said that they will give specific advice about the advisability of walking the Route Napoleon over the mountain to Roncesvalles as opposed to the lower route. February/March remains a challenging month as far as the weather is concerned particularly on this crossing.

Best wishes for your impending Camino

John

To be very blunt, Pilgrims get lost in snow storms on the Route Napoleon, and some have perished.
