Camino Frances - Beginning and End
9 - 22 June 2025 From € 1 495 sharing Single supplement €395 This 15-day walk allows you to walk from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Pamplona in 4 days and have a rest day in Pamplona. You will then take a train to Sarria so that you can walk the final 118km to Santiago, which will qualify for a Compostela. We have kept the walking stages from Sarria to 7 days to that you arrive in Santiago on the day of Corpus Christi where you can join in the celebrations and processions of this important day in the city. Stage One: 5 days Day 1: Meet in St Jean Pied de port where you will be taken to the Pilgrim Office to obtain your pilgrim passport. Day 2: You will walk from St Jean to the Albergue Orisson, a stone and wood lodge on the side of the mountain road. After a rest and some refreshment, a shuttle service will take you back to St Jean. Day 3: You and your luggage will be collected in the morning. You will be dropped off at Orisson, or a bit further up the mountain if you prefer, and your luggage will be taken to Roncesvalles. Here you can have a communal dinner with other pilgrims and attend a pilgrim mass at 7:30pm. Day 4: Today you will walk to Zubiri. There is a challenging downhill section to the town which should be avoided in wet weather. If it is or has been raining, we recommend that you walk on the road. Day 5: You will walk to Pamplona today, passing through small villages and hamlets on your way. Day 6: This is a rest day in Pamplona for you to rest, have a massage or sightsee. Day 7: You will go by taxi to the train station for your 8 hour trip to Sarria.
