  • Haute Route Pyrenees, HRP.
    This greatest of trails follows the high ridge of the Pyrenees from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, winding for more than 800km in and out of Spain and France.
    The trail has over 40.000 meters ascent so is suitable for experienced mountain walkers only.
    We hiked the trail from June 29 to August 2 2019.

    Great video thank you brought back many memories of my time traversing the route with 7 friends between 1st April and 15 May 1993 most of which was covered in snow. Navigation had to be by map and compass as the route markers were not visible. We had been sponsored by a beer company for a verterns charity and part of the agreement was we had to carry a large can the whole way and not allowed to drink it till we sat on the beach in Banyuls su Mere. So many times was the temptation to drink it.. If I recall I lost around 16kg in body fat by the end. Loved every step of it..

    Thanks mate. Did the hospitalet pres Andorra to banyuls last section, 8 days, last year. Thinking very seriously about doing the whole walk next July. Thanks for the video, very enjoyable. Good edit, not too long, and I like the way you hide the pain. Whilst painful on the walk, really the only memories are joyful.

  • @LisetteLowe
    @LisetteLowe Před 4 lety +4

    What a great effort doing it in just over a month! I'm considering it for 2020 and was thinking of not bringing trekking poles, but seeing the amount of snow it looks like poles and microspikes are a wise idea, right?

    • @bjrnforselv5466
      @bjrnforselv5466  Před 4 lety +1

      Thank you, Lisette. I think trekking poles is a very good idea, especially where there is snow.
      You can go without microspikes. If the sky is clear during the night the snow will often get frozen in the morning, and at that time you will need microspikes or crampons. By 10 or 11 am the snow is most likely to be soft and there should be no need for microspikes. Be aware that the snow gets soft in the eastern slopes before the westen slopes.

  • @christopherpowell1880

  • @mtkolberg
    @mtkolberg Před rokem

    Love this video, you guys are amazing! What a trip. Also really enjoyed your foto-diary. I'm looking to do this next year if it works out. Question - the Pluviometre col looks quite steep on the snow, was there any concern about the possibility of a fall and sliding down?

    • @bjrnforselv5466
      @bjrnforselv5466  Před rokem

      When we ascended the col on the western side early in the morning the surface on the snow was icy and hard and we used microspikes. On the eastern side the snow was soft and not icy and we did not need any microspikes. If we had fallen we would not have slid down the slope.

    Very nice video. I'm glad you guys got to see the beautiful mountains where I spent holidays in my family cottage as a child (especially the atlantic pyrenees, and the Ossau valley). I suppose you guys are Norwegians, I got the chance to see your wonderful country last year :)

      Yes, we are Norwegians and I am glad you got the chance to see our country last year :)
      We look forward to visiting the Pyrenees again some time.

    Dear Bjørn, thanks for a great video. How did you deal with the thunderstorms?

    • @bjrnforselv5466
      @bjrnforselv5466  Před 2 lety

      Thank you Maria :) I´m glad you enjoyed the video. Thunderstorms can be an issue. When there were thunderstorms, we kept calm and searched for lower ground if we were on hills or high in the mountains. If there were any buildings nearby we tried to stay inside.
      Thunderstorms usually occurred late in the day or at night. We also set up the tent so that we would not be very exposed to thunderstorms.

    • @bjrnforselv5466
      @bjrnforselv5466  Před 3 lety +1

      No daubt, we enjoyed HRP the most. It is not that urbanised, less people, more solitary. It is more varied regards to nature and scenery. The passes you cross are more spetacular, there are more snow and demanding passes.
