Borda is a small cluster of buildings on the Napoleon Route between Orisson and the Pic d'Orisson. No services. The climb continues steadily from here as you leave the tree line behind and enter open mountain pasture.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Borda. Laurent is a brilliant host. He has thought of every last detail to make pilgrims’ lives better, from privacy curtains on the bunks to personal power outlets and a handy basket to store your stuff. He is a brilliant chef and prepared a delicious meal. And - best of all - he creates an amazing atmosphere where you get to know your fellow pilgrims and form lasting bonds. I met my Camino Family at Borda, and many of us are still walking together a week later! Thank you, Laurent, for this glorious start.

Not only does this make the first day of the Camino shorter and more pleasant, Lorenzo makes sure you start your Camino with the right mindset.
This is where I met my first Camino family. I saw these people along the way and it always made me smile.
The rooms are comfortable and the food is good. Warning: Borda sets an impossibly high standard for the rest of the Camino. Very few accommodations come anywhere close to this. If I ever buy an albergue, I will model it after this one.
Thank you, Lorenzo!

provided us with a delicious vegetarian dinner and lovely communal experience!

Laurent is welcoming and attentive to his guests. He cooks very well and his auberge is new and very well maintained.
He offers good advice and helps us start the adventure of the pilgrim journey!
I strongly recommend it to you. Remember to book.

I stayed there on 23 April 2025. What a great spot. Lorenzo is a fantastic host, doing everything possible to make your stay memorable. Each bed is completely private and every room of 4 beds has it’s own shower and toilet.

Lorenzo makes you feel welcomed instantly. He has a great sense of humour. Albergue Borda is in an amazing location, with stunning views. The dormittories are in a converted 200-year barn, very tastefully done. Lorenzo has put a lot of thought into what a pilgrim needs but on a luxurious level. Dinner was amazing. Thank you, Lorenzo, I would return.

We stayed here on May 31, 2023 and it was everything I hoped it to be. Frest host and met wonderful pilgrims who I walked with for a month. The next morning was magical and I still remember those views. We will be back in 2026!

A great stop if you do not want to make the full trek to Roncesvalles. Fantastic host.

The accommodation was clean and well organized. The views were spectacular. But most importantly our host Laurent was amazing and gave us so much helpful information for the pilgrimage that other friends of ours who stayed in Orrison just didn’t receive. Highly recommend this as a place to stay one of my favorite spots on the trail.

Lorenzo made us feel so welcome after such a big day from St Jean. The bunks were private, clean and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were so hearty and make sure you get the picnic lunch it was perfect for the next climb.
Such a welcome and friendly place
Thank you Lorenzo

Transforming the property was a work of love and you can see it in all of the fine details.
The food was excellent as was the company.
Glad I stopped

Borda was wonderful! Miguel, our host, is the perfect person for this job; best personality ever! Miguel was helpful, funny, and encouraging. The accommodations are nice and clean. Nice privacy curtain at your bed along with your own reading light and outlets. They seriously thought of everything! So glad I stayed here!
