Hi all, I am planning to walk the Camino Frances at the beginning of March and was wondering what advice anyone has on the weather conditions. Will it be too icy in the Pyrenees still? And also I am curious if the hostels will all be open at that time of year. Anyone who has walked at this time I would be greatful for your advice on what to pack too, this will be my first Camino and I want to be as prepared as possible!
I'm one of the oddballs who prefer March over any other time. Just warm enough during the day to be pleasant, and never too hot. And yes. The weather can be 'interesting,' sometimes many different ways in a single day.Anyone who has walked at this time I would be greatful for your advice on what to pack too, this will be my first Camino and I want to be as prepared as possible!

Would you recommend beginning in Pamplona or will the Valcarlos route be fine to walk?The Route Napoleon is closed until April. Take good waterproofs and layers for warmth
Sorry I mean Roncesvalles not PamplonaWould you recommend beginning in Pamplona or will the Valcarlos route be fine to walk?
Thanks for all the great advice!!It's fine, though of course check current conditions at the Pilgrilm Office in SJPP.
In fact it's gorgeous.
Provided there aren't severe weather condtions, there may still be some snow at the top. There was when I walked, though it was well tromped down. No problemo! If you hear bad weather is expected, you can always take Express Bourricot to Roncesvalles and start from there.
Yup. The same place.Is the pilgrim office at SJPP where to get the pilgrim passport too?
Well, I didn't expect anyone from outside Spain to announce that they want to walk in March ... but here we go ...My friend and I want to do the Camino Francés in about a week as well but were told that Navarra is closed up until March 11th and that we couldn't get in nor through that area. Does anyone know more?
