PYRENEES: THE GR10

15 days at GBP974 including flights

Tripcode: TWR

The central section of this classic long distance walk through the wild French Pyrenees

The GR10 is the extraordinary Grand Randonee route which runs from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, and this trip offers the chance to complete a rewarding stage of this great trek, with your bags transported from campsite to campsite. The strenuous route covers almost 200 km of the stunning central section, alternating between lush valleys with forests of beech and pine to higher, wilder areas of open ridges, high cirques and deep blue glacial lakes. Highlights include two nights in mountain huts, time to explore the awesome Cirque de Gavarnie, the lakes of the Neouvielle National Park, and the spa town of Bagneres de Luchon.
