Hiking in Arette

The HexaTrek is a trail of 3,034 km and 136,000 m of elevation gain connecting 14 of the most beautiful French natural parks and crossing France from the Vosges to the Pyrenees.

The GR®10 is a marked long-distance hiking trail that crosses the Pyrenees from West to East, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.With a total length of about 900 km, it is a magnificent classic for hikers.

The legendary long-distance hiking trail GR10, which connects the Atlantic with the Mediterranean along the Pyrenean ridge, makes the hearts of passionate long-distance hikers beat faster. You traverse one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world.

Hikers should expect significant elevation gain, but their efforts will be rewarded with incredible landscapes.

Transhumance consists of moving herds on foot from the valleys to the high mountains during the summer. This ancient practice allows herds to graze in the summer and cultivate the valley lands. An ancestral practice, transhumance has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage since 2023.

Le sentier passe à proximité du fameux gouffre "Tête sauvage", qui le relie par une galerie souterraine naturelle à la grotte de la Verna, 9 kms plus loin ! Non praticable en hiver à cause de la neige. Vérifier la météo avant de partir, le secteur hors sentier est dangereux par temps de brouillard.

Slow Down to Keep GoingToday we say goodbye to the grassy hills of the Basque Country. The elevation gain is no longer spread evenly throughout the entire stage, so today we’ll face our first long, continuous climb. Despite the trails gradually becoming steeper and rockier, this relatively short stage is manageable. The basic motto is: walk slowly. That way, we’ll conserve our energy for the days ahead.
