How this is calculated
Stage boundaries follow the classic 33-stage division of the Camino Francés — the same seed the companion app plans with. One note: the browser follows the main route through Villadangos del Páramo where some guides route via Villar de Mazarife.
Elevations are curated, guidebook-style altitudes for every village on the route; profiles connect them in sequence. Ascent and descent sum the village-to-village changes plus a small per-kilometre undulation allowance, which lands the totals where published guides put them (≈ 1,385 m for the Pyrenees day).
The difficulty rating weighs distance, climbing and descent the way legs do — a long flat meseta day can outrank a short climb. Five levels, from gentle to epic; only the Pyrenees and O Cebreiro days earn the top mark.
This tool runs on the same data and logic as the Camino Mío app — when you start walking, your plan comes with you. Meet the app
