A piedi sui Pirenei - GR10

From the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, on foot among pristine forests and green valleys, magnificent peaks and intense blue lakes. The paths in the Pyrenees run along the lines traced by shepherds who followed the paths beaten by animals, to whom instinct indicated the best route, by smugglers in search of the most unexpected route, by knights who opened the passage for the carriages of kings and queens . They lead to surprising places, in a succession of scenarios sometimes of harsh beauty, sometimes sweet and reassuring. In 40 days of walking the author, starting from Banyuls sur Mer, reached Hendaye almost always along the Grande Randonnée 10, and the travel diary becomes a useful guide for mountain trekking enthusiasts and for those wishing to retrace, all or in part, this spectacular connection between sea and ocean. How to prepare the trip, how to choose the routes based on your desires and abilities. Maps and elevation maps, indication of the difficulty levels of each section of the trail. Information on refuges, campsites, gîtes, cabannes and water sources along the route.
