    Thanks for watching. It means a lot to me. Mid October was the perfect time for me last year. I hope you have favorable weather. The GR20 is a tough one, but so rewarding. Take care.

    Cheers Cary! Your trip looked idylic!! I'm flying out tomorrow. First two days have sun, then it looks as though I'll have a fair bit of rain!😮 Flight back isn't until 16 days later, so I've got a good buffer..

    This is an enchanting video. The drone shots of the eye in the rock at the start and the ending are stunning. It's as if the island is gazing at you directly. Beautiful atmosphere with the autumn leaves. Respect for the late arrivals and early departures from camp!

    Thank you, Mario! I had some technical issues with my drone the first half of the trek, so I wasn't able to get the kind of clips I wanted to, but overall I'm happy with what I shot.

    @@Kivi-Stoo Not technically open in the sense of someone working there, but the doors are open for many. I don't know the exact refuges that had doors open, but I would say it was around 50/50 for those open and those closed. I think if you go late September, likely to have many still open.

    Hi! I mostly camped at the huts. None of the huts were manned (I went in the middle of October). The season had just ended.
