Roncesvalles → Zubiri
A stage of the Camino Francés
Leaving the heights of Roncesvalles, this 21 km stage on the Camino Francés is a sustained descent of 584 m through ancient beech and oak forest into the foothills of Navarre, with only 179 m of climbing to soften the legs after the Pyrenees crossing. The path follows woodland tracks and quiet lanes through a handful of small villages, offering a gentler introduction to the rhythm of daily walking. Zubiri sits beside the Arga river and marks the transition from mountain to valley.
