A good preparation is essential.

Our travelplan at this moment (July 2010) looks like :

At the end of the afternoon on the arrival day we walk the first 5 km of the trip. From Saint Jean Pied de Port to Ithurburia.

Today a 20 km climb from Ithurburia to Roncessvalles.

A hefty hike of 25 km. From Roncessvalles descending to Zubiri. At the end 2 steep climbs to take.

Relaxing. Easy hike of 17 km. From Zubiri descending to Trinidad de Arre.

A short walk of 5 km to Pamplona. The rest of the day resting.

After a good night sleep we are going to begin this stage of 20 km. Halfway through the stage the climb to Alto Del Perdon.

The first 2 km are downhill to Puente La Reina. Then a steep climb to Mañeru. The rest of the 25km is easy.

A sloping track of 22 km to Los Arcos.

A few nasty climbs on this short stage of 19 km to Viana.
