The Grand Tour des Vanils is an extremely rewarding trail. However, it is challenging, which makes it better suited to seasoned, well-equipped hikers. All 11 stages are clearly marked and the trail can be walked in both directions, either one stage at a time or as a through-hike. Thanks to its design and excellent transport links, the Grand Tour offers hikers a high degree of flexibility when planning their route.

Responsible behaviour

Outdoor activities sometimes involve crossing areas inhabited by animals that are sensitive to disturbance.

Crossing mountain pastures also requires responsible behaviour that respects the work of the herdsmen, the landscape and the flora.
