BlackRocker57 replied to the thread Am I being too greedy or ambitious? Le Puy AND start in Geneva?.Bonjour @CTLawGal🌅 a couple of things to keep in mind, esp. re GR65 Via Gebennensis ... if you are hoping to stay at hostels [gîtes d’étape] or other styles of accommodation and not planning to carry a tent and sleeping bag then you may want to...

I have walked from Geneva to SJPP. It is a fantastic walk, but also very demanding. I feel that the issue with the walk is that it does follow the GR - the entire camino route feels like someone connected a load of weekend walks together and this...
