I agree Nice sucks after walking the GR-5. I was shocked. No more piece and quiet. And all restaurants seem to be shoarma or pizza. And I like to add, that the altitude can play tricks on you. When starting the Alpine stages I would recommend to take it easy, and not try for long distances. After overextending yourself in the first days, I found it very hard to catch my breath again. And I gave up. I continued in 2022 and did not make that mistake. I ended up making 12 to 14 hour hikes in the end without any difficulty.
As I hiked it together with my boyfriend, for both of us it was 4500 Eur. Not cheap 😅 your budget will depend on the choices along the trip, your location and current gear. For the breakdown of our costs, you can check the guide I wrote about this trip: intothehike.com/gr5-geneva-to-nice/
You’re right, Pepijn! I actually hiked the Dutch part some years ago 😉 but I also noticed that the section of French Alps is often called simply GR5 instead of “section of GR5”, hence the name. I can update the thumbnail to be more specific if you think it’s misleading as it’s definitely not my intention.
@@simonaintothehikeI think updating it is a good idea, for those looking for the whole trail it's difficult to find the right video this way. Plus new people might get the wrong impression about the gr5

The GR5 actually starts at Hoek van Holland in the Netherlands, not the Geneva Lake.
