Plan this tripThis is not a generic guidebook. We build a private Trail Companion for your dates, your direction, your overnight stops and every day of your GR10.
01
Trail Book
Your exact GR10 itinerary — from the place you sleep to the next front door, with the turns people miss and the stops worth making.
02
Trail Book
Follow your stage offline, see what remains and get a live estimate based on the pace you are actually walking. Your GPX is already cut into each day, ready for Garmin, Coros, Suunto, Apple Watch, Komoot or OS Maps.
03
Trail Book
Family and friends see where you are and when you last updated — no app, no account.
— Now make it yours —
Most people walk it in 55 days. Some want longer to take it all in. Others want the challenge of doing it quicker. Pick the trip that suits you — or customise yours below.
We remove the awkward parts at both ends: quiet reassurance for a solo walker, and no unpaid-invoice chasing for the friend who gets a group moving.
Going solo
We lend solo walkers a satellite GPS tracker. It updates automatically, even away from phone signal, so you can walk freely while the people at home follow your progress.
Bringing friends
Plan a private GR10 with us and get one shared trip page. Every walker pays their own deposit by card and adds their own details—no bank transfers or payment spreadsheet.
Most people begin with Section 1 or 2 to test their legs in the Basque foothills, or pick one of the middle sections (3–5) for the biggest mountain scenery. Tell Craig what you're after and he'll help you pick.

5.0 from 6 verified reviews
Every review here comes from someone who actually travelled with us — we only ask once the trip's over, and we don't edit what they say.
Different routes, same team doing the planning, the bookings and the hand-holding — so these say a lot about what to expect here too.
“An amazing and very memorable experience”
We had a really wonderful experience and are very happy that we went ahead with the trek. It was challenging at times, but overall it was an amazing and very memorable experience. The scenery, the trails and the whole journey were absolutely beautiful. Bhagyashree did have some issues with her knee during the trek, which made a few sections difficult. We didn't let that stop us — we completed most of the trek and, wherever necessary, adapted our plans and took a bus or train for certain stretches rather than putting too much strain on her knee. Managing the trek despite the knee issue made the achievement feel even more special.
Thank you once again for all your help and guidance in planning the trek. Will definitely recommend Big Trail Adventures to all.
“A spectacular and varied hike - well supported by strong local knowledge!”
An amazing 5 days on the trail through widely varying scenery, spectacular coastal and mountain views, with beautiful Mallorcan towns and delicious Mallorcan food to break up the journey. Despite travelling during peak season and during a long weekend, the trail never felt "crowded" and there were plenty of stretches where it was possible to enjoy the rugged isolation of this world heritage area.
The Big Trail Adventures team did a great job putting together an itinerary at short notice to suit my availability and ambitions for the hike. The team was responsive to specific queries and the bookings and luggage transfers all worked smoothly to support the hike.
“Beautiful route, excellent organization by Big Trail Adventures and partners”
Everything about this trip was exceptional. The route is incredibly beautiful, the lodging every night was top notch, and the hiking was very doable. I scheduled an 8 day itinerary as I was recovering from a leg injury and wasn't sure how recovered I'd be by the start date. Fortunately, I was fully recovered and nothing on the hike resulted in re-injury; if felt like a great recovery period. Aside from the first day when thunderstorms rolled through, the weather was good -- partly cloudy to sunny every day with very comfortable temperatures (I was there Oct 7-14). I saw very few people on most sections of the route. As a solo, female traveler, I felt very comfortable and met several other solo women. The villages are beautiful and everyone if very friendly. One thing I found it difficult to get information on prior to the trip is the availability of water on the route. So, if you are planning this trip note that there is very little water available outside your starting and ending points, and any village you might go through during the day. Not knowing about water availability in advance, I took plenty of water each day, but it is important to be aware of this, especially if you are hiking in the warmer months. All in all a great trip!
I requested a self-guided itinerary within a month of desired departure and Big Trail Adventures made it happen for me! Their planning, organization, and support during the hike was excellent! Navigation was flawless with the gps files they sent, the lodging was great, and all the restaurant recommendations they made that I tried were very good. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
After 3 days of solitude on the trail, enjoying the immense beauty of the island, descending into Valldemossa on a Friday afternoon and turning the corner to suddenly be in the midst of a bustling tourist town was quite a shock! :-) The contrast was striking. When I departed at 8am the following morning; however, there was not a sole in sight!
