>>1085205I can't speak much about the full potential of the Med side of the mountains as the GR11, I am comfortable in assuming, doesn't pass through the best parts of that region. If you wanted to explore round there I would look at making your own route and not walking that portion of the GR11.
>after a winter in the Alps I'm looking for something a bit different than "just" high mountainsI walked with a Swiss guy for a while, so he knew the Alps pretty well, and he really enjoyed the high mountains of the Pyrenees saying they had a different feel and were much quieter. They are different range with a different culture so don't write them off.
