This was my second time booking with Respyrenees. It was equally successful. Last year I walked the first week of the GR10 alone but with the back up of Respyrenees I never felt alone. This year we were two and again walked self guided. We were provided with marked up maps and we used the app as we walked for a bit of additional security! Everything went to plan and in the event of a query - an email to Gaetan was answered swiftly and helpfully. We had a super time - the accommodation worked well and the food was good and plentiful. When we arrived each evening at our accommodation the word Respyreness always provoked a huge smile and a great welcome. I'm looking forward to next year and continuing the GR10 with the support of Gaetan and the Respyrenees team. A joy from start to finish.

Thnx for organising our hike! It was a beautiful route and very well organised!

Very happy to recommend Respyrénées. Good to have an organization run by people who know the mountains rather than by managers. The organization and back-up were great. The walk was tough in places, but they said it would be. We enjoyed the variety of accommodation. Everyone on the team seemed to speak excellent English.

An outstanding trip. Well planned and organized. All of our luggage and taxi transfers worked flawlessly. Accomodations were comfortable, rich in character. Food excellent. Had a crisis when the village of Etsaut flooded and called the respyri emergency number on a saturday and received timely help to remedy our situation. A great trip

So we got to the finish line. We had rain, sun and snow ! Walked 210 kms ascended 12825m and descended 13374m and got to over 2500m. Had whiteouts, walked in clouds and glorious sunshine. Saw magnificent mountains and valleys, met some really interesting people. My partner had her first experience of dormitories in refuges and we stayed in idiosyncratic, individual gîtes that without exception were all incredibly hospitable . Special mention should be made of the Hôtel Castets d'Ayré in Barèges. The rain had been so bad that the road to Oredon had been washed away and our baggage transfer was not possible. They drove all the way to Tourmalet car park with our bags for us to choose a change of clothes and our toothbrush for the unexpected overnight stay without our bags. What service ! We had encounters with patou, saw marmots, vultures and deer. It’s was an adventure of epic proportions ! This would not have been possible without the organisation and support of Respyrénées, especially when we asked for some modifications to the route midway which the team handled very quickly and efficiently. So thank you to the team, we will be back for the next stages without a doubt

What a trip- thanks to The RESPY team! It was quite an adventure, some tough trekking in wild weather however thanks to the team we always had somewhere to rest and refresh - we even had our own recital at La Ferme de Florence which was a real treat! Absolutely recommend!

We took a self guided journey for part 6 of the GR10. It was fabulous. The trek was beautiful and all the logistics were absolutely smooth. We also loved the app and appreciated the responsiveness when we wanted to make adjustments for day 5. So, the trip exceeded our expectations by a lot! Beyond this, all interactions throughout with Gaetan, before and during the journey were very efficient and pleasant. It was fun to meet him in person. We are already thinking about our next trip with Respyrenees! Micki Eisenman

Following a cycling trip across the Pyrenees, I found Respyrenees while doing research on hiking the GR10. I booked their recommended itinerary for Section 1. Any concerns I had about support and luggage transfer were put to rest with a simple phone call. The support material is excellent, from the hard copy description to the 1:25,000 maps. The phone app was excellent for navigation and my luggage was always waiting for me at that night's accommodations. The planning, booking, and support that Respyrenees provided really lessened the stress of planning a multi country month long foray that included biking, hiking and touring. I would highly recommend Respyrenees to anyone contemplating hiking the GR10 but may find the planning overwhelming...they will do it for you! I'm coming back for more GR10 and this is the company I will use.

We had a fantastic tour, and was very satisfied with everything. All the hotels and refuges were really great and everything was well organized.

A very good walking week. Excellent accommodation and meals, with a warm welcome from Jean and the team. A well-judged programme of walks and visits, well matched to the capabilities of a friendly and sympathetic group of walkers. Effective leadership from our accompagnatrice Elodie. Bravo ResPyrenees!

This was one of the best experiences of my trip to France!!! Mathiu was fabulous! We had 3 amazing days of hiking and he was exceptionally knowledgeable and so patient with answering our many questions! Our hike to see the buzzards' nesting cliffs was an experience none of us will forget! The food was incredible and we enjoyed meeting the other guests and hearing about their adventures. I live in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State in the US and do a lot of hiking here on my own and with a summer camp for children. The level of professionalism and outdoor skills was impressive. I felt completely comfortable and safe with Mathiu as our guide. I highly recommend Respyrenees! Alison

I had a great experience walking from Hendaye to Etsaut in 2023, with excellent help and support from ResPyrenees and Gaëtan. I returned this summer to continue from Etsaut to Gavarnie, and again ResPyrenees' service was outstanding. We stayed in three different refuges, plus gites and hotels, and all were great. At each stop, we found the hosts and staff to be conscientious and helpful. The selection of these accommodations demonstrates ResPyrenees' accumulated knowledge of GR10. There's just no way that I could have made the selections and reservations on my own, without ResPyrenees. Gaëtan has always been helpful and responsive. I look forward to returning next summer to continue the adventure.
