Pyrenean High Route Voyage Tips and guide

Contents

The Pyrenean High Route (HRP) is a spectacular long-distance hiking trail that runs the length of the Pyrenees Mountains, straddling the natural border between France and Spain. Stretching roughly 800 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, the HRP offers a rugged and remote alternative to the more popular GR10 and GR11 routes. Unlike its counterparts, the HRP stays closer to the crest of the range, often crossing back and forth between countries and weaving through wild, high-altitude terrain. It’s a demanding trek suited for experienced hikers seeking solitude, stunning alpine scenery, and a true mountain adventure.
