Trek the historic Grand Randonnae 5, or GR5, along ancient trade routes from the mountains down to the Mediterranean Sea. Beginning in the storied alpine heights of the Mont Blanc Massif, you'll wind through the Alps' remote valleys, cross sun-dappled meadows thick with wildflowers, and explore three pristine French Alps National Parks: Vanoise, Queyras, and Mercantour. Comfortable hotels await after fulfilling days on the trail — not to mention a celebratory swim in the azure waters of the Mediterranean at the end of this epic trek!

Highlights:
  • Trek the famous GR5, a comprehensive journey through the snow-capped Alps finishing on the French Riviera
  • Be impressed by the variety of scenery as it dramatically changes daily from rocky limestone to waterfalls, from Provencal to coastal
  • Challenge yourself as you hike through three secluded and pristine national parks

Important Trip Details:
On this trip, you will be hiking 5-9 hours a day at elevations below 10,000 feet. The trails can be rocky and steep, requiring stamina, excellent balance, and coordination. You need to be in good physical condition to enjoy this experience.

Minimum Age: 18
