Lakes Trail day hike in Sequoia national park, USA
I definitely have a soft spot for mountain lakes 🙂 It is a great option if you only have a day in Sequoia NP and you’d like to spend it high up in the mountains.
Mist Falls day hike in Kings Canyon national park, USA
Mist Falls day hike offers pretty nice views of the Kings Canyon peaks, even if only for a day.
Multi-day hike across Madeira island
We decided to hike across Madeira instead of doing a few day hikes and driving around by car. Besides, the island seemed to be small enough to start on one side and finish on the other within the 5 days we had.
Berliner Höhenweg trail in Tyrol Alps
This trail is truly spectacular, awarding the hikers a chance to admire the Alpine views throughout the whole hike. But beware, it’s not for the faint hearted…
GR10: Merens-les-Vals to Llo
This hike is my come-back to the Pyrenees and to the GR10. It was also an early come-back – early June. We chose this route as we had only a few days to hike and needed a good public transport connection with Toulouse.
Mullerthal trail in Luxembourg
Luxembourg doesn’t come into one’s mind easily. However, I’d say it’s a hidden European treasure for early spring and late autumn walks. While the big mountains will be covered in snow, Luxembourg trails will welcome you probably any time of the year.
GR10 in the French Pyrenees. Day 9: Lac d’Espingo – Bagnères-de-Luchon
I woke up in the middle of the night wondering who turned the light on. Oh wait, I’m in the middle of the mountains, wild camping next to a lake. What the hell…?
GR10 in the French Pyrenees. Day 8: Germ – Lac d’Espingo
So long, valley villages! Today I’m heading back to the mountains, the big ones.
GR10 in the French Pyrenees. Day 7: Saint-Lary Soulan – Germ
Today is one of those days when elevation is not extreme (although still 1200m up!) and the trail passes numerous villages while keeping the mountains in the distance.
GR10 in the French Pyrenees. Day 6: Lac d’Aubert – Saint-Lary Soulan
Today is a long day, with 27km waiting for me. The good news is that I only need to go up during the first half of the day and then it’s mostly down. 2200m down 😀
GR10 in the French Pyrenees. Day 5: Gîte de Saint-Justin – Lac d’Aubert
High on sugar (and groceries), I left Bareges and through silent valleys headed towards Neouvielle nature reserve, famous for its numerous lakes.
GR10 in the French Pyrenees. Day 4: Luz – Gîte de Saint-Justin
Today I’m having an easy day. I need to recover from a few long days in the high Pyrenees and mentally I feel drained. According to the GR10 itinerary, my destination is Bareges village, which is only 12km away. Nice!
