Camino - French Route F1


Itinerary for Camino - French Route F1



Sample Itinerary: St-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Pamplona (step 1/8) - subject to changes

The Camino is clearly marked with the “Scallop Shell” showing you the way. The walking can be physically demanding and will require a reasonable level of fitness. However, it’s a highly rewarding venture that includes numerous cultural highlights along the way!

Day 1: Arrival in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port
You’ll be booked into a hotel in the heart of the small town. The rooms are en-suite.
Meals included: none
Overnight in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port


Day 2: Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port To Roncesvalles
This first day is considered the most difficult as the Camino crosses the Pyrenees. The ‘Camino Napoleon’ kicks off with a steep climb, on through orchards and past country houses and then, later, through Alpine-style meadows, before weaving its way alongside leafy beech woods towards the Spanish border and the descent into Roncesvalles. The Valcarlos Camino mainly follows the road which runs through the valley alongside the River Nive or River Valcarlos. Don’t miss the Collegiate Church in Roncesvalles.
Walking: 25km  / approx. 8 hours (ascent: 1250 m / descent: 540 m)
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in Roncesvalles


NOTE: If you would like to walk at a more relaxed pace, we can arrange an alternative route (though not as rewarding) that splits this walking day into two stages (12km and 14km), staying overnight in the village of Valcarlos. Here you will be staying in a two-star hotel. This is route through Valcarols is no the usual Camino itinerary and the walk is not as rewarding as it follows the main road.

Day 3: Roncesvalles to Zubiri
The Camino crosses two beautiful mountain passes and continues on through beech and oak woods and meadows before coming to Espinal, where the panoramic views of the countryside, with the Pyrenees in the background, are a sight to behold. The River Arga runs alongside this part of the Camino and continues its course all the way to Larrasoana.
Walking: 22km  / approx. 7 hours (ascent: 90 m / descent: 550 m)
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in Zubiri


Day 4: Zubiri to Pamplona
The Camino runs along the River Arga, at the foot of a group of hills covered in beech, oak and Scots pine. As we approach Pamplona, the landscape shows more signs of civilisation, with its reforested conifers and farmlands.
Walking: 21km  / approx. 6 hours (ascent/descent: 250 m)
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in Pamplona


Day 5: Pamplona, end of the walking holiday
After breakfast, we bid you farewell.
Meals included: Breakfast



IMPORTANT: The Napoleon Route over the Pyrenees (Day 2) is closed for Pilgrims from the 1st November until the 31st March. Pilgrims need to use the alternative route via Valcarlos if they are travelling within these dates. Travelling on the Napoleon Route at this time is forbidden and all pilgrims going over the Pyrenees and having to be rescued before that time will be fined €5,000.
