Which is best GR10 or GR11?
The GR11 stays higher and is rougher than the GR10, but there is actually more climb on the GR10 as it drops down into the deep valleys cut by the north-flowing glaciers in the last ice-age. The GR10 is less direct than the other two routes and will take a little longer.
