A 4-Day, 3-Night Hiking Adventure from France into Spain
A short, serious challenge for hikers who want a real taste of the Camino Frances — without committing weeks to it.
Starting in the medieval French town of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, this trip tackles one of the most demanding and celebrated stretches of the entire Camino de Santiago: the crossing of the Pyrenees via the legendary Napoleon Route. Over 3 days of guided hiking, you’ll climb from the valley floor to over 1,400 metres above sea level, cross the border from France into Spain on foot, descend into the historic mountain village of Roncesvalles, and follow the Río Arga through the Basque countryside toward Pamplona — the first major city on the Camino Frances. It’s tough, it’s beautiful, and it’s exactly the kind of short-format challenge that gives hikers a genuine sense of what makes the Camino legendary.
Every detail is handled so you can focus on the trail: a local English/Spanish-speaking guide walks with you each day, your luggage is transferred ahead to each hotel, and you’ll stay in private-bathroom accommodations throughout — including a well-earned finish at a 5-star boutique hotel in Pamplona, with a full rest day built in to recover and explore before heading home.
