There may be snow that early in the year. Many albergues open in April or around Easter, so your friend should expect to encounter closures. In towns with more than one albergue, one usually is open.

Is most towns with more than one albergues? You know where i can find a list of albergues ans there openning/closing dates? A internet site maybe? The possibility of snow would be in Roncevalles pass and O'Cebreiro? Anywhere else?

My wife and I will be starting from Roncesvalles on March 6, 2014. At the Canadian company of pilgrims meeting we were told, by pilgrims who have been there at that time of the year that we will not have any problems finding accomodation.

It is snowing in the Pyrenees for the next three days! O Cebreiro has already had a dusting of snow. By March it should be adventurous! Buen camino.

Ho ho. What would you describe as adventurous? Tell me more I'm leaving around 9 March.

Thanks for the link falcon. A severe reply to a lighthearted question. Indeed there is always a risk if ill prepared, and even for those who are experienced. There is no life without some risk. This was indeed a tragedy for the pilgrim and his family but not all winter camino's end this way....

Karen, we are seniors so we are giving ourselves 45 days for the pilgrimage. I am sure you will catch up with us, looking forward to meeting you somewhere along the camino

With respect to Falcon's link, we are Canadian and we are traing in Ontario trails, I think that the winter conditions are more severe here than in Navarra. Still, we appreciate the warning. Abuelito (grandpa) will be careful.
