Choose your guiding route first
The GR®10 links the Atlantic and Mediterranean on the French side. Study it as a reference route: cabins marked on a map do not by themselves form a continuous path.
- Choose an area and its access points before listing overnight stops.
- Study every link and variant using an up-to-date guide and map.
- Locate descents to villages and transport options.
Do not rely on one accommodation type
Some stages suit cabin stays, others a refuge or a lodge. Several options give flexibility when a place is closed, occupied or difficult to reach.
- Book refuges where required and save their contact details offline.
- Check local rules before including a night in a tent.
- Include resupply and rest days in your schedule.
Plan the days as carefully as the nights
Adapt stages to terrain, weather and the group. A fixed schedule must not force a pass crossing in poor conditions. Leave room to shorten or stop a section.
