Hiking on the GR10, in the Néouvielle National Nature Reserve
|
This huge hiking trail wanders from peak to valley, crossing the Pyrenees from the ocean to the Mediterranean on the north side.
More than just a route, it’s a promise: to encounter the Pyrenees in all their rich diversity. Thanks to its many access points, the GR10 allows everyone to choose their own itinerary.

There are many itineraries in the Pyrenees, but there is one that attracts all the envy, a long thread that every passionate mountaineer fantasises about following once in their life: the HRP.
A mythical route, a fantastic epic, a crossing of the summits, on wild ridges, without bothering about borders, sometimes on the French side, sometimes on the Spanish peaks, but always with your heart beating a little faster.
This long-distance footpath, known as the Chemin de Lourdes, leads from Maubourguet and Nogaro to the town of Lourdes and then on to the Col de Saucède (GR10).
The Piémont Pyrénéen trail currently provides a link between Saint-Bertrand de Comminges and Lourdes. This signposted long-distance hiking trail is part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
This mid-mountain loop route can be completed in 4 or 5 stages. A natural and discreet route, never far from the typical little villages of the Val d’Azun. The GRP is accessible to all walkers, making it ideal for families…
Two of the main Jacobean routes, the Camino d’Arles and the Camino del Pyreneo, pass through the Hautes-Pyrénées. With their varied and unforgettable landscapes, these trails also cross some extraordinary sites.

The Arles route
Also known as the Via Tolosana, it runs from Toulouse and Auch to Pau via Maubourguet, on the Grande Randonnée trail (GR 653), with a possible link from Maubourguet to Lourdes (GR 101).
The GR 78
This itinerary follows the Pyrenees mountain range. From the Cathedral of Saint-Bertrand de Comminges, where pilgrims are traditionally welcomed, it leads to Lortet and then on to Lourdes and Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.
The GR 105
Another route, further south from Lortet, runs through the Vallée d’Aure. Modelled on ancient Roman roads, it passes by the Rioumajou hospice and links up with the GR653 at Jaca.
