Honto
Camino Frances
Honto is the first hamlet on the Napoleon Route, about 5 km from Saint Jean Pied de Port and 400 m higher. A small cluster of farmhouses with a bar and the Ferme Ithurburia gîte d'étape, which also serves meals. This is the last chance to eat or drink before Orisson (another 3 km up the road).
If you're feeling the climb already, this is a good reality check — you're less than a quarter of the way to Roncesvalles and the steepest sections are still ahead.
Beyond Honto the road continues to climb steadily on asphalt. After about 1 km the camino leaves the road for the first time, winding uphill through a series of switchbacks. The Kayola albergue, operated by the Orisson team, sits just off the route with beds and a small terrace. From here it's roughly 2 km more to Orisson.
