In the heart of the French Pyrenees lies a segment of the GR10 trail, a path that weaves through some of the most stunning landscapes this mountain range has to offer. Hikers will experience a journey through nature's artistry, a trek that encompasses the most picturesque portions of this famous trail.
The path will take you from the historic charm of Cauterets through the lush meadows and towering peaks near Lac d'Oô to the serene grandeur of Bagnères-de-Luchon.
Highlights include the awe-inspiring Pont d'Espagne, the tranquil waters of Gaube Lake, the panoramic views from Col de la Hourquette d'Ossoue, and the lush, pastoral beauty of the Luchonnaises Pyrenees.
While not technically demanding, this hike is a true testament to one's endurance and passion for hiking. Each day brings significant distances to cover and substantial elevation gains.
The varying altitudes and rugged terrain make it essential for participants to be in the optimal physical condition and used to long days in the mountains. If you're unsure if you want to take on the entire highlights tour, you can also opt for a 3-day GR10 Hike option.
To ensure you can focus on the beauty and challenge of the trail, we provide a comprehensive support package. From securing comfortable accommodations in the huts, hotels, and auberges to providing round-the-clock support on the route, we take care of the details.
Our detailed GPS navigation tools are designed to guide you through each segment of the trail seamlessly. Additionally, we provide an in-depth digital guidebook, rich with information about this panoramic stage of GR10.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Hut to Hut Hiking. They were exceedingly responsive, patiently answering my many emails' worth of questions about itineraries, schedules, logistics, and the like. They helped to create an absolutely perfect trek according to the limited time I had and they provided helpful information for me to organize travel to and from the start and end points. Hut to Hut's communication is professional, their website is useful, and the itinerary and GPS tracking information they sent me once I paid/booked was flawless. The trails were easy to follow, Ride with GPS worked perfectly, and I was so grateful to have relied on a company to facilitate my route in a country where I was unfamiliar. I'm used to planning my own routes, but Hut to Hut Hiking's expertise and insight made the entire experience infinitely more pleasant.


We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)
