GR® 5 — De la mer du Nord à la Méditerranée
Loading route and elevation profile…
A European backbone
GR® 5 covers about 2,500 km between the mer du Nord and the Méditerranée. Its French section links in particular the Vosges, the Jura, Haute-Savoie, Savoie and the Alpes du Sud.
Altitude sets the calendar
The alpine character grows stronger in the second half of the route. The FFRandonnée recommends the May to October period and reminds hikers that high-altitude huts and shops may have limited seasonal opening.
Plan your hike
In the mountains, check when huts and shops are open: the FFRandonnée indicates a common window from 15 June to 15 September.
