The continuation of the Via Tolosana: from Somport to Puente la Reina, short, solitary and steeped in the character of the Alto Aragón.
✦ Historic↑ Ascent
+4573 m
↓ Descent
−5849 m
The Camino Aragonés drops down from the Somport pass to Puente la Reina, where it joins the Camino Francés. It is the natural continuation of the Via Tolosana, one of the four great medieval routes of the Codex Calixtinus.
Short but with a character all its own and far more solitary than the Francés, it crosses Jaca, San Juan de la Peña and the valleys of the Alto Aragón.
Who it's for
For those crossing the eastern Pyrenees in search of calm.

View stage →Plan your daily stages
Choose which stage you start from, how many days you have and at what pace; we split the stages into days balanced by effort (distance and elevation). You can save, share or print your plan.
6 days · ≈ 203 km in total
This split is not realistic on foot: at least one day goes over 42 effort units (kilometres plus climb). Add days or start closer to Santiago (from Sarria, for instance, if you have less than a week).
An indicative split by effort (distance + elevation). It does not guarantee accommodation at each stop: check each stage and its hostels before finalising your plan.
✦ Add stamps to your digital credential
Save this route to your account, mark each stage you complete and earn your virtual Compostela when you reach Santiago. Free.
The stamps and the digital credential are a keepsake from Santiago Plan, with no official validity: they are not the pilgrim credential and do not replace the physical stamps collected at hostels and churches to obtain the Compostela at the Cathedral.
