Should you stay in Orisson on your Camino de Santiago Frances Way or French Way?
What service are there?
Should you go via Valcarlos?
Is it your HARDEST Camino day?
and How I nearly DIED listening to locals.

Oh and about the thumbnail.; to say “I almost died JUST past Orisson, because of the woefully inaccurate advice from the staff AT Orrison”, is too much to put on a thumbnail.

The real issue here is that despite it being the most expensive albergue we stayed at:
1 - They do not offer ANY government weather information.
2 - They do not offer wifi or any internet access, so you cannot research any information if you do not have local mobile data access – as many pilgrims do not.
3 - The advice they gave was, in hindsight, an absolute guess and as we all know, the weather in the Pyrenes can and does kill pilgrims anytime of the year.

I feel that as the owners and staff at Orisson, who owe their livelihoods to pilgrim patronage, are grossly failing in their duty of care to keep customers safe – especially on something that a simple printout updated daily, or even a simple chalkboard with a weather picture and numbers for temp and wind would solve so well. And tell staff not to outright guess what the weather will do.
