GR20 with Vincent Delebarre
The GR20 as a whole is aimed at serious mountain and trail enthusiasts Our trip offers you the chance to cover the GR20 in six stages, with professional supervision and all the organization you need. You’ll have mountain trail pros with you, led by Vincent Delebarre, a real mountain trail cracker (winner of the UTMB in 2004) and high mountain guide, and Philippe Bovagnet, Mountain Leader, who knows the mountains like the back of his hand. We’ll help you discover technical terrain amid breathtaking scenery!
GR20 is a tough one So that you can really enjoy the scenery, we’ve planned to do it in six days. Each day is a long and serious step, but we’ll keep cool so you can benefit from Vincent Delebarre’s advice.
