A steep climb to start the first leg of the Route Napoléon from St Jean Pied-de-Port, but the superb views over the valley are a good reward.

The Route Napoléon (Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Roncesvalles) is closed between November and March.

Big climb on the first day, but worth it for the views and the sense of satisfaction on reaching the albergue

Super beautiful! It is quite a climb (19 km) but worth it.
