If you come to visit the Iparralde area... you can't miss it. It's worth a visit, either by bike or after the route. It has a lot of activity and life, especially in summer.

This is where you should spend the first night, as the walk to the next pilgrim hostel would be too far for the first day. But you have to book Orisson months in advance!

After a steep climb, you suddenly come to the Refuge. A wonderful place for a coffee! But after that, things get serious on the way to Spain.

The starting point of the Camino Frances. Many pilgrims start from here and are so excited that they can't really enjoy the beautiful town.

To be preferred, I think, outside the scallop season. I cycled downhill there in January, superb road and alone. Back in May, lots and lots of people on the road on foot! Also preferred in the direction of descent because the climb must be steep!

The port of Larrau is one of the 5 large ports of the Pyrenees. Not only is it one of the toughest ports (on the French side); It is one of the ports with the greatest scenic beauty, enjoying the authentic wild and rugged Pyrenees. The two slopes are different in terms of hardness and landscape. You have to try both options and decide which one you like best. The Port of Larrau is included in 2 marches: IratiXtrem and Larra Larrau. I also recommend both marches: impeccable organization and hard and beautiful routes. And remember: the Pyrenees must be respected and kept clean.

Welcome rest stop after the first climbs, with a toilet and cafe open to all pilgrims
