The GR 10 crosses the Pyrenees from Hendaye to Banyuls‑sur‑Mer, where conditions vary with coast, altitude, and season. April, May, and September tend to offer cooler air, steadier days, and fewer heat‑and‑thunder spells along much of the route. The Atlantic west is typically cloudier and wetter, the Mediterranean east drier and sunnier, while higher cols remain markedly colder year‑round, with summer warmth punctuated by showers and winter bringing frequent snow on the crest.
