The GR10 Trail: Coast to Coast Through the French Pyrenees (Cicerone Mountain Walking)

Product Description:

Guide to walking the long-distance GR10 across the Pyrenees from Atlantic to Mediterranean. Taking 50 days to complete and divided here into sections tackled in a fortnight's holiday, with details of accommodation and transport. The GR10 is one of a number of official long-distance paths (Grandes Randonnées) in France. 
Seasons
Early June through to the end of September, although care should be taken over high passes early in season. High season July and August.
Centres
Various centres along the route offer good facilities. St Jean-Pied-de-Port, St Engrace, Cauterets, Bagneres-de-Luchon, Fos, Siex, Vicdessos, Arrles-sur-Tech, Banyuls-sur-Mer.
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.
