How much did the Hexatrek cost me to thru-hike? Let’s find out… 

@@robert44467 glad it is helpful 👍🏼 are you planning on hiking the Hexatrek in the future or a different trail?

@@RyansNextAdventure yes plan to do the hexatrek with some people I did TA with last year , it looks awesome

@@robert44467 that’s amazing, it is epic. You will love it, it’s tough but being immersed in the Alps and Pyrenees is awesome. Good luck with your preparations

I always have in my mind it costs about £1 a mile and the Hexatrek worked out to be about £1.50 a mile. Overall I’m really happy how much the Hexatrek cost me, thru-hiking can cost a lot more of you let it.

Cheers Wilz 👍🏼

Thank you. France is great for wild camping, they call it Bivouac. As long as you set up after 7pm and pack up by 9am and you’re away from urban areas and property you’re all good. I had some incredible wild camping spots in the mountains on this hike, it was just me, my tent and the mountains. It was an incredible experience.

Thank you 😊

Thank you, I tried to get straight to the point in this one. Glad you enjoyed 😊

Cheers mate. Yeah it was a tough first day. After 24 hours of travelling with no sleep i hit the trail and hiked 17 miles. I think I was just really excited to get started with the Hexatrek, when I set my tent up for my first night on trail I was asleep in minutes. Probably a good idea getting accommodation after a lot of travel 👍🏼

No special gear required, some hikers use micro spikes and an ice axe if you plan to do the Alps section before the snow melts. But by July the snow should have melted enough and can be hiked normally. Stage 2 & 3 goes through the Alps and the entire trail follows existing paths, you just have to be comfortable being in the mountains for days at a time, and be prepared for any potential bad weather like storms. Stage 4 & 5 goes through the Pyrenees so again very mountainous but the Hexatrek follows existing paths like the GR10. There’s a couple of alternate paths that can be taken in the mountains that are a bit more technical hiking but they are obvious in the Hexatrek App and have routes to follow to avoid these sections. Hope this info helps.
