GR®7 From Vosges to PyreneesFrom Ballon d'Alsace (Vosges) to Portella Blanca of Andorra (France-Spain) |
|
The watershed line is a topographic line that separates the river basins that flow into the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea. The GR®7 is a long-distance hiking trail that crosses France from north to south over 1467 kilometers. It starts at the Ballon d’Alsace in the Vosges and ends at Portella Blanca in Andorra. The section of the GR®7 that crosses the Monts d’Ardèche is one of the most picturesque of the route. It offers spectacular views of the mountains, valleys, and rivers. The GR®7 trail follows the watershed line approximately. This means that the trail does not always follow the exact line but comes as close to it as possible. The trail crosses forests, meadows, passes, and peaks. It is well marked and easy to follow. Hiking along the watershed line is a unique experience. It is an opportunity to discover the natural beauty of the Massif Central and to understand the importance of water resource management.
