< Back
 
Walking guidebook for the GR10 across the French Pyrenees, one of a number of official long-distance paths (Grandes Randonnées) in France. This classic long-distance walk from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean takes about 50 days to complete, but the author divides it into sections conveniently tackled in a fortnight's holiday, with details of accommodation and transport.

Early June through to the end of September, although care should be taken over high passes early in season. High season July and August.

Difficulty
Trekking the GR10 coast to coast, with its 49,000m of ascent and descent, the vagaries of the weather, navigation difficulties and replenishment of supplies and water is a serious undertaking. For those properly equipped and prepared, it is a superb mountain expedition. A tent is not required.
Must See
Pic du Midi d’Ossau, the Vignemale North Face, the sheer unrivalled beauty and charm of the scenery, and the hospitable pastoral villages nestling in the hillsides.
