I’m planning on hiking up to Orrison, eating lunch there, and hiking back down to SJPDP. The next morning is the day I’m curious about transportation back up to Orrison. Would taxi be cheaper than expressbourricot?You should be able to have someone at Orisson call you a taxi.
But it seems to me that the Express Bourricot option is good - you can walk farther up the hill making the next day's walk a little shorter.
I'm actually going to use them in May, I'm going to accompany a group of newbie pilgrims and it seems like the best option for us.
If I were alone, I would stay at Orisson or Borda, but some in the group that I will be going with prefer staying in private rooms.Just out of curiosity, why are some of you going back to SJPdP instead of staying the night in orisson?
I arrive in SJPDP early on May 1. Planning to hike up to Orrison and return to SJPDP where I have reservations that night. Next day want to get transportation up to Orrison where I’ll continue on to Roncesvalles. Is expressbourricot the only option? How far in advance would I need to make a reservation with them? Thanks for info and suggestions. This is my first Camino!
Since you have experience with this service I have a question - Do you think that it would be feasible to walk to Vierge d’Orisson, then back down to Orisson in time to be picked up? I think that I'd rather wait at Orisson to be picked up, perhaps while sipping a glass of wine.We used Express Bourricot on our 2019 Camino. We are from Australia and did not want to push too much on our first day after such long travel days. We booked for the two of us from Australia and paid them once we got to SJPdP. They were brilliant. On the second day they collected us from our accommodation to take us back to La Vierge where they had picked us up the previous day. It is only a short distance further on from Orisson.
Yes, that would definitely be doable. Just let Express Bouriccot know that you would like to be picked up at Orisson rather than La Vierge. When we used the service we got picked up at La Vierge but then stopped at Orisson to pick some other people up.Since you have experience with this service I have a question - Do you think that it would be feasible to walk to Vierge d’Orisson, then back down to Orisson in time to be picked up?

We did exactly that last year and it was fine. Leave in the morning, have a drink in Orisson, and walk for another hour or so to the virgin, back to SJdP by EB for late lunch. The advantage is that it makes the next day shorter, which is welcome given these are the first two days, and one is just getting into the groove. We used express Burricot. I got the impression that provided you booked early they would figure out how to organize logistics, perhaps by getting a temp driver and extra vehicle if the van was full.Since you have experience with this service I have a question - Do you think that it would be feasible to walk to Vierge d’Orisson, then back down to Orisson in time to be picked up?

They will pick you up from the virgin btw. No need to go back to Orisson. And drop you at the virgin the next day.We did exactly that last year and it was fine.

Yes, I know that. I just thought that it might be nicer to wait for pick up at Orisson if there is time to walk back there.They will pick you up from the virgin btw. No need to go back to Orisson. And drop you at the virgin the next day.
Sorry, my bad. But I’m not sure on the first day the walk up to the virgin and back from Orisson would be worth the wineYes, I know that. I just thought that it might be nicer to wait for pick up at Orisson if there is time to walk back there.
I suppose another option would be to take a break at Orisson and time it to reach the Virgin just before the pick up time.
How long did you have to wait at the Virgin?
We walked to Croix Thibault, (right where the Camino leaves the paved road)I arrive in SJPDP early on May 1. Planning to hike up to Orrison and return to SJPDP where I have reservations that night. Next day want to get transportation up to Orrison where I’ll continue on to Roncesvalles. Is expressbourricot the only option? How far in advance would I need to make a reservation with them?
