GR®10 Great Traverse of the Pyrenees

From Atlantic to Mediterranean

Crossing the French Pyrenees from Hendaye to Banyuls-sur-Mer, the trail offers an unparalleled hiking experience over approximately 900 km. It traverses natural parks such as the Pyrenees National Park and the Ariège Pyrenees Regional Natural Park, showcasing a diversity of landscapes from the dense forests of the Basque Country to the lush valleys of Béarn, passing through the rugged mountains of Bigorre and the gentle hills of Luz-Saint-Sauveur. The highest point of the trail is at the Fourcat refuge at 2,445 m. The GR®10 is renowned for its natural beauty and panoramic views. It offers a comprehensive exploration of Pyrenean flora, including the “gispet” of alpine meadows, rhododendrons, blueberries, heather, beech forests, and twisted pines. Hikers can also observe a variety of wildlife, including bearded vultures and capercaillies.
