Walking Camino Vasco Interior in March

[CRP]

Does anyone have any advice as to whether or not it is reasonable to consider walking the Vasco Interior in early March?

Most of the Vasco Interior is walkable year round except the day from Zegama to Agurain Salvatierra when the route climbs up through the San Adrian tunnel. It depends on snowfall - when, how much etc whether the pass is walkable or even if you feel comfortable with some snow- but equally by March it could be clear. This can probably only be called closer to time - but there are public transport options if you find out at Zegama that the conditions are snowy.

I walked from Vitoria to Burgos in January a few years ago and all albergues were open. More relevant may be jcat's account in March

Thanks a lot for your response. It is helpful and appreciated. Most of our camino walking has been done in March, so we have walked snowy trails. It’s good to know that there are public transpo options in Zegama. Thanks again.

I think it is very reasonable. I walked it last December and had a great time. Buen Camino!

Thank you for your response. I enjoyed reading what you posted last March. Your photos are lovely!

Pilgrims albergue of Beasain opens door in March so it's perfect. But be prepared for a mud festival.
