Climbing into the Pyrenees from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, the first stretch to Orisson was a humid, unrelenting ascent. But beyond the mist, sunlight broke through, revealing green pastures dotted with cows, horses, sheep, and even a few wandering pigs. Their quiet presence and the distant sound of bells made the climb feel almost timeless — a gentle reminder of the rhythm of mountain life.
