The GR®65, stretching 1119 kilometers, is one of Europe’s most emblematic and historic pilgrimage routes. This path, extending from Geneva in Switzerland to Roncesvalles in Spain, is divided into two main sections: Via Gebennensis and Via Podiensis. The Via Gebennensis spans 341 kilometers from Geneva to Puy-en-Velay. This section offers a journey through diverse landscapes, including the scenic Rhône River and the rolling hills of the Haute-Savoie region. The Via Podiensis takes over in Puy-en-Velay, a town renowned for its cathedral and historical monuments. This section is one of the most frequented by pilgrims, traversing varied regions such as the volcanic plateaus of Auvergne, the vineyards of Lot, the hills of Gers, and the majestic Pyrenees mountains. The Via Podiensis extends approximately 778 kilometers to Roncesvalles, located on the Spanish border.
