A pleasant hike with a gradual climb (be careful, the left fork is not easy to find, there is no network coverage and the geolocation is off). It was hot, 32 degrees. We ran out of water (we had 1 litre each). And the last kilometre (lots of rocks) is (very) difficult with climbs, descents, scrambling... it took us a good 7 hours.

Very beautiful hike, we didn't see anyone, very beautiful view, quite difficult due to the rocks, so allow a little more time. It's really very pleasant at this time of year.

Beautiful hike. It climbs quite a bit, so be careful at the fork because there is no mobile phone reception and the geolocation is not great. The last kilometre in particular (we followed the directions) is a bit tough, not to say really hard... climbing, several rock slides, not easy... so glad to get there! Yes, we are in our sixties, but we are seasoned hikers...

A beautiful hike with stunning views and a large car park, which is currently free but may soon become pay-to-use given the installation of barriers, which is a shame. Otherwise, it's a very beautiful route, but it lacks signage. One minute you're on the red trail, the next you're on the blue, then the yellow. Thank you, Visorando, for the GPX file of the route that I was able to save on my watch. It was very helpful. Be sure to check the weather before you set off. We started out in blazing sunshine and a beautiful blue sky, but halfway through the ride we were hit by a thunderstorm with hail and lightning 🥲. I recommend this beautiful loop 😉

For this hike, there’s no point covering such a long distance and climbing so much elevation just to end up seeing the same views, even if the surroundings are very beautiful. It’s a real leg-burner. Between points 3 and 4, it’s genuinely uninteresting, with a badly worn path. It goes up, it goes down – it never ends. You catch a glimpse of the sea in the distance for a few moments between points 5 and 1, but at what cost! A hike for fitness enthusiasts. Didn’t see anyone else apart from a ranger from point 3 onwards. Take plenty of water ; thankfully, the river is a welcome relief on arrival.

Circular route with some very beautiful sections (between points 1 and 3, then 4 and 5, and 5 to 1). Unfortunately, the entire stretch between points 3 and 4 is actually a track for 4x4 vehicles, no doubt to provide access to the refuge further up the GR. A wide, straight track with felled pine trunks on either side, ruts, and little or no access to the nearby stream. It’s a shame that in the name of ‘promoting’ the legendary GR20… its surroundings are being ruined…
