The videos are so detailed and useful!
Planning to do this loop in June. What a fantastic introduction. THANK YOU MERCI
Insupportable friture vocale …
Any feedback would be helpful and appreciated. Anything like: what you found useful, what I could have included, what your hiking plans are etc. Thanks!
How many days?
Thanks for how to hike video. As mentioned I’ll do this trail this September. Subscribed to your channel to have a look at your other videos. You’ve done some great hikes. I did the GR20 in September 2022. Peaks of the Balkans next year. All in preparation for the big one in 2026. The Great Divide Trail in Alberta/British Columbia, Canada.
Thanks, this was very helpful! Going to start the GR54 next week 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing. I'll start the Gr54 next week. 🙂 PS: Your video is very informative and helpful, even with the preparations I did.
How much road walking is there on the GR54?
Thank you for your video. I've watched it in preparation for my tour des Ecrins last week. I've finished in almost 5 days. Especially my 4th day was hard, when I went from La Chapelle en Valgaudemar to refuge de la Muzelle. I remember you telling about a steep climb, and was waiting for it to come, but unfortunately it came at the end of an already though day. I appreciated that you mentioned you used a filter, since I bought one and I've found use for it as well on the trail.
Great guide. I skipped on most of the actual route details for now, but will definitely be coming back here if I end up hiking this trail next September. Thanks a lot! 🙂
Excellent video, do you think snow conditions would be problematic in mid-late May?
Great video! Did you bring a rain jacket? And do you think one is needed?
