Frankreich Pyrenäen – GR 10

In the far southwest of France, the impressive mountain range of the Pyrenees stretches towards the sky, forming the natural border with neighboring Spain. As one of three major long-distance hiking trails from the Atlantic through the Pyrenees to the Mediterranean, the GR 10 is considered the easiest and best-marked. The Rother hiking guide "Pyrenees GR 10" comprehensively and reliably presents all stages of this tour.

On the route from Hendaye to Banyuls-sur-Mer, hikers will cover more than 920 kilometers. The GR 10 remains entirely on the French side and showcases many different landscapes: starting at the foot of the Basque hills, the path initially leads through the rocky High Pyrenees, featuring highlights such as Vignemale and the Cirque du Gavarnie. In the subsequent Ariège region, hikers will find tranquility and untouched nature. The journey culminates in the eastern Pyrenees, where consistent weather and Mediterranean vegetation hint at the approaching Mediterranean Sea.

With this Rother hiking guide, the GR 10 can be hiked in 53 stages. Each stage is presented with all the essential information, including details on camping options and accommodations that allow for long-distance hiking without a tent. Additional information on dining and water sources is also provided. Shortcuts for individual stages and five additional alternative route suggestions allow the tour to be tailored to personal needs.

The young author team of Mira Kuhn and Fabian Briel has researched the information on the GR 10 on-site over several summers. This makes the Rother hiking guide an optimal planning resource for anyone looking to traverse the Pyrenees on this fantastic long-distance hiking trail.
