About the GR10 Hiking Trail
The GR10 hiking trail (other known as the Pyrenean Way) is a French thru-hike that crosses the Pyrenees mountain range from the Atlantic Ocean, Bay of Biscay, Hendaye, to the Mediterranean Sea, Banyuls-Sur-Mer. It's one of the most popular, if not the most popular, thru-hikes in Europe because it takes you through the wild, uninhabited part of France. The GR10 features some spectacular landscapes, including high mountain passes, alpine meadows, crystal-clear rivers and lagoons, and rustic refugees along the way. It's very similar to the GR11 and the HRP (Haute Route Pyrenees) hiking trails because it also crosses the Pyrenees from west to east, with the main differences being that the GR10 mainly goes through France, the GR11 through Spain, and the HRP through the main peaks and ridges of the Pyrenees.
