About
A 160-kilometer spiritual route through the Pyrenees. From the incense-laden Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes to the cobbled streets of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, this path resonates with centuries of devotion.
Seven stages, 5147 meters of elevation gain, lead you past thermal springs in Cauterets and the verdant valleys of Argelès-Gazost. Ancient chapels whisper tales of faith as you tread the well-worn earth.
Hike it from April to June or September to October, when the air is crisp and the mountains stand sentinel, inviting reflection with every step.
