Abstract

The GR®5 is one of the most iconic long-distance hiking trails in Europe. Stretching over 1500 kilometers, it offers hikers an unforgettable adventure through varied and magnificent landscapes. Hikers begin their journey in the charming city of Luxembourg, where they can explore its historic fortifications before embarking on the trail. The early stages of the GR®5 traverse the lush green hills of Luxembourg, providing panoramic views of the countryside. Leaving Luxembourg behind, the trail crosses the eastern regions of France, immersing hikers in the beauty of the French countryside. The Vosges Mountains stand majestically along the path, offering picturesque trails through dense forests and peaceful valleys.

The trail follows the Franco-Swiss border, where the landscapes take on a whole new dimension. The Swiss Alps rise before the hikers, with their snow-capped peaks and glacier-carved valleys. Hikers may also encounter diverse wildlife, including chamois and marmots, while exploring the alpine landscapes. The steep trails and mountain passes require good physical fitness and hiking experience. However, the efforts are rewarded with breathtaking views of the snowy peaks and deep valleys.

Finally, the GR®5 reaches the Mediterranean Sea in Nice on the French Riviera, marking the end of an incredible adventure.
