Pyrenees - The GR10 The GR10 is the extraordinary 'Grand Randonee' route which runs from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. With your bags transported for you from campsite to campsite, we offer the chance to complete a rewarding stage of this famous trek without the need to carry all your own gear. We will be walking on the central section, covering almost 200 kms on foot during this strenuous two-week trek. The trail alternates between lush valleys with forests of beech and pine, to higher wilder areas of open ridges, high cirques and deep blue glacial lakes. Highlights include a night in a high mountain hut underneath the mighty Vignemale peak, time to explore the awesome Cirque de Gavarnie, the lakes of the Neouvielle National Park, and the spa town of Bagneres de Luchon.

Trip Profile:
12 days walking, plus 1 rest day; altitude maximum 2800m., average 1800m. This is a strenuous trek - you need to be very fit and preferably with some trekking experience. You will be walking for up to 8 hours a day over steep terrain.

Accommodation:
9 nights camping (mostly with facilities), 2 nights gites, 1 night mountain hut, 2 nights hotel.

Meals:
All breakfasts, 11 picnic lunches and 12 dinners included.

WHAT THE PRICE INCLUDES
In all the items below, “included” means either in the price or in a specified “local payment”.

Flights
The prices include flights from a UK airport to the destination airport and back, UK departure tax, all necessary domestic flights on the trip itinerary and all airport transfers. If you do not need our group flights, please ask for the “land only” prices. If you book at the “land only” price, international flights and related airport transfers are not included, but domestic flights generally are, except where tickets for these have to be issued in conjunction with your international ticket.

Accommodation
This is included in the price. If you’re camping, we provide sturdy two-person tents and all necessary communal camping and cooking gear, so you will just need to bring a sleeping bag and, on most trips, a sleeping mat.

Single rooms or tents
Our prices are based on twin share accommodation. If you book your own (many people do), we arrange for you to share with a person of the same sex. We do not charge a single supplement except on extensions. Where it is operationally possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to do so, we offer an optional single supplement in the price list. On some trips it is not possible to guarantee single accommodation for the whole tour; where this is the case further information and prices can be found in the Trip Notes. If you would like a single room or tent on a particular holiday you should contact the office for details. Where we are unable to guarantee single accommodation you may be able to arrange and pay for it locally. If you are a smoker we ask you not to smoke in your room or tent if sharing. Please note on certain trips single accommodation is not available due to local operational conditions.

Food
Meal plans vary according to area and circumstances: for every trip, details of what is included are shown in the Food section of each trip, and in the Trip Notes.

Transport
All necessary transport during the trip is included, whether private or public.

Sightseeing
Included wherever it is part of the itinerary (as stated in the Trip Notes). There are usually optional trips too.

Staff
On all trips we provide a leader or local representative, assisted by local guides, drivers and any other staff as appropriate. Leaders usually meet the group locally.
