The Napoleon route from SJPdP to Roncesvalles monastery is closed thus necessitating the use of the Valcarlos alternate route.

Futhermore other difficult stretches after winter storms might be from Najera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada or across the Montes de Oca from Villafranca as well as Monte Irago and, of course, O Cebreiro.

Be sure to scan this recent Forum thread for posts/ links by many of us who have walked at this time to help you prepare a winter camino.
